Reviews
". . . bring[s] the spiritual wisdom of the gospels into dialogue with contemporary life."
-Theology Digest

"The strength of this text is its literary approach . . . a second strength of the text is the author's genius for theological reflection . . . a third strength of this commentary is the spiritual wisdom that is imparted. This commentary has potential as a resource for small faith communities, RCIA groups, faith based counseling, and as a tool for spiritual direction and spiritual mentoring."
-Catholic Studies

"This book is ideal not only for preachers and teachers but for anyone who wants to access the wisdom contained in the Gospels. . . . Dipping in to the book at random has whetted my appetite, and I look forward to using the volume over the course of the coming liturgical year."
-Spirituality

"An invaluable resource for presiders and people, parents, teachers, catechists, and all who desire the Spirit's pleasure, passion, and purpose in their lives."
-Prairie Messenger

"People in the pews will welcome this weekly challenge of the spiritual wisdom of the Gospel texts."
-Prairie Messenger

"Unlike most lectionary commentaries this book is not an exegesis of the biblical passages as such, but each gospel text becomes a focus of Shea's characteristically wise and engaging reflections on the connection of the gospel stories to our experience. Because of this the volume can serve as rich spiritual reading as well as offering leads for preaching and teaching."
-The Bible Today
