Say AMEN to "Saying Amen: A Mystagogy of Sacrament"

Saying Amen: A Mystagogy of Sacrament is a light-hearted book that looks at the role of the sacraments in the Catholic Church. It not only gives a mystigogical perspective of the sacraments, but a brief history and theology as well. Hughes writes this book with clarity and pizzazz. One can not help but become excited and enthralled as she writes about the lost act of contemplation. Besides contemplation, she also writes about "Mystagogy as Method," "Paying Attention," and separate chapters for each respective sacrament. This book not only educates one on the practices and beliefs that the sacraments entail in the Church, but also provides thought provoking topics that are garenteed to call for reflection and arouse discussion. A must read for all!
