As we approach the release of Every Moment Holy, Vol. II, we thought it would be helpful to give you a peek into the extensive territory covered by its liturgies. The book is broken up into three main sections—liturgies “For Seasons of Dying,” “For Seasons of Grieving,” and “Liturgies of the Moment”—and ends with the benediction “A Liturgy of Praise to Christ Who Conquered Death.” Click through for the full list.
