Extremely helpful

I am an Altar Guild directress. I have bought several Altar Guild manuals, but find this to be the most useful. It is written in a straight forward, easy to understand manner. It is perfect for the beginner. When I train new members, I loan them the book. I invite them to browse through it, but I also point out the sections I "require" them to be familiar with. Somewhere along the line, my copy went missing, and I promptly replaced it. I would not be without it. It is up to date, no nonsense, and yet does not lose sight of the spiritual reasons behind our "heavenly housekeeping."

Excellent educational resource!

An excellent, thorough, comprehensive guide to altar guild training and education. Well-organized and easy to use.

Very good reading for all altar guild members .

The self paced study of knowledge and skills are very helpful and well needed in order to be an efficent altar guild member. I recommended this book to the directress of the altar guild and all the altar guild members want a copy of this book.
