Good academic work
If you want to work with ancient patterns of spiritual formation, this is a good place to start. However, I cannot recommend it for an average small group setting. It s an academic work, good quality, but for the average person in the pew this will not be a good starting point.

Wonderful Book!
This book was highly recommended by a professor. It has been a great find. Not only is the book very accessible and great for teaching anyone from children to RCIA candidates about the Mass, but it is also rich enough to give anyone a deeper understanding of the Mass. It is always within reach and used constantly as a reference. This is a wonderful book and I highly recommend it to you.
