Cosima Gillhammer’s new book about the liturgy may well foster a renewed appreciation for what has, for many, become routine; Light on Darkness: The Untold Story of the Liturgy has certainly taken its place on my list of books to recommend to anyone curious to learning more about the Christian Faith.

Whether to a cradle Catholic who never really had the rigorous formation that a catechist receives, or someone just star ting their journey, Gillhammer’s work will sit alongside George Weigel’s Letters to a Young Catholic as one to highlight the riches to be found in Christianity, and which Christianity has given to wider culture.
