let's say grace
We have always said grace before our meals, but recently, when friends were over, we used the book. they say grace only on special holidays, but after hearing the prayer that evening, her son and daughter both asked for this book and want to use it every night. I'm purchasing several to give to newlyweds, new parents. One usually takes a gift, why not this book?

All three cycles (A,B,and C) are included as well as reflection questions for each week's readings written by several authors. I highly recommend its use .
