The Wellspring of Worship

it came quick!! very good condition

A journey with Jesus and why he came and then died for us. A full and studied writing of His life. In my own journey of life and following Jesus, I have been filled with joy and understanding of suffering. What I don't understand is how some who read of Jesus can turn from Him and His church. But living His love for all our brothers and sisters can unite us deeply to one another and bring the peace and ways of taking care of one another. Shout, cry out, be His disciple and we can receive His unending love here on earth as He wants us to experience--now! I believe and the author held my interest and hunger for our God. Well done.

This book is absolutely amazing. Fr. Corbon provides a masterful contemplative reflection about the mystery of the liturgy and how it needs to be lived. He brilliantly refocuses the debate that rages in modern circles about rules and rubrics to be about reascending to the source and rediscovering the Trinity as the source and font of the liturgy.The first section of the book can be a somewhat difficult read because the language used is the fruit of contemplation. It needs to be read with prayer and meditation in order for the full effect of what Fr. Corbon is proposing to be realized.I believe that all Christians, but most especially Catholics should put this at the top of their reading list. It will give you a completely new understanding of the liturgy and in many cases will probably change your life.Overall it is one of the best books that I have ever read.

My friend a seminarian recommended this book to me last Christmas. It was an outstanding read - very deep and moving. This book helps to open up for the reader where they are within the love of God.

It's important to note that Fr. Jean Corbon was the primary writer of Section 4 (On Prayer) of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, much of which was written from his basement in Beirut while the city was being bombed. A highly thought of priest by St. Pope John Paul II and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI

This is a beautifully written work of theology, drawing us more deeply into the mystery of the Trinity through the Divine Liturgy. In Part I, Jean Corbon delves into the Mystery of the Liturgy revealed through the life of Christ and the Church. Then, in part II, he unfolds the beauty of the Liturgy Celebrated. Part III reveals "The Liturgy Lived", emphasizing how the Eucharist is an integral part of human daily living, "the mystery of the river of life that streams from the Father and the Lamb ..." (137). Jean Corbon assists the reader by providing a key to liturgical vocabulary; and, this book has only 200 pages.

... this book is a MUST BUY!

Jean Corbon's soul is in his written words. Anything of his that is published is well worth reading, pondering, and taking to heart. The depth of one's spiritual life in Christ will increase in direct proportion to one's desire to worship Him well.

Quiet possibly the finest piece of work I have ever read on the the active involvement of the Trinity in our lives and in the Liturgy/ Church.
