Well written; This reading helps to understanding how God communicates His Love for us via the sacraments and how he renews His Covent with those who reach out for his saving grace to become one body (the Church) of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
I was overall impressed by reading the book. Given my busy work schedule, the book was a thrill to read and understand our faith and sacraments. I appreciate knowing the history, the basis, and the "point" behind each of our Sacraments while considering other sacraments in life. Highly recommended.
Fr. Kurt is one of my all-time favorite sacramental theologians. I had him for two courses on the sacraments, and his clear and inspiring discussion of the sacraments has served me well in my spiritual life, my further theological studies, and in my professional life as high school religion teacher and college theology professor. I highly recommend this book.
Truly a good book that describes the sacraments in a clear easy to understand manner.
I don't know why anyone would really need this book. It doesn't say anything that cannot be found in the Catechism - there isn't much explicit 'theology' going on here, sacramental or otherwise. Skip it.
Great book, great price.
This book was a text for a class I was taking on lineand was full of information and met my needs
Awesome book!
