Reviews

[Patrick Martin]

Very informative book on the Anglican Sacraments. The chapter on Marriage is quite outdated though but a lot has changed in that regard since the 90s when it was published. Overall though a very very good read.

[L.C. Fiore]

The clearest, most profound exploration of the sacraments that I've ever read.
