I've been a lector at my last three parishes, and am so happy I stumbled upon this book in a Catholic bookstore! I would have never thought about prepping for the Prayers of the Faithful, or that lectors could meet to critique, help each other, or how my personal Bible study affects my job as a lector.
Anyone who lectors should read this, for God's word deserves to be read with my utmost being poured into it.
