Product Description
Let Us Attend! A Journey Through the Orthodox Divine Liturgy is a guide to understanding the Divine Liturgy, and a vibrant reminder of the centrality of the Eucharist in living the Christian life. Every Sunday morning we are literally taken on a journey into the Kingdom of God. Fr. Lawrence guides everyday believers in a devotional and historical walk through the Orthodox liturgy. Examining the Liturgy section by section, he proves both historical explanations of how the liturgy evolved, and devotional insights aimed at helping us pray the liturgy in the way the Fathers intended. In better understanding the depth of the Liturgy's meaning and purpose, we can pray it properly. If you would like a deeper understanding of your Sunday morning experience so that you can draw closer to God, then this book is for you.

 A useful but flawed introduction to the meaning of the liturgy October 7, 2008

LET US ATTEND: A Journey through the Orthodox Divine Liturgy is a series of meditations by Fr Lawrence Farley on the meaning of the Sunday liturgy, meant to orientate Orthodox Christians in its structure and better appreciate its rich symbolism. It does work fairly well in raising the mind of the believer to better appreciate the presence of Christ and the role of laymen and clergy alike in Orthodox worship, instead of some arcane and impenetrable weekly obligation.
I cannot be too positive about the book, however. The typesetting of this book is quite amateur, with a design that is difficult in the eyes and even, on at least one page, cuts off the text in mid-sentence. Some editing would remove passages that go on for more than is necessarily. The combination of serious explanation of the liturgy and folksy storytelling is one I found jarring.
And this is essentially a book of historic trivia, not an academic treatise. Therefore, anyone wanting a rigourous history of the development of the liturgy should look to Hugh Wybrew's The Orthodox Liturgy, which is not perfect but certainly beats most options.
Nonetheless, for the individual Orthodox Christian looking to get more out of the liturgy, Fr Lawrence's book may be worth picking up.
 Discover the Rich Heritage of the Ancient Church Liturgy July 17, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
The Holy Orthodox Church is rich in history and tradition. We understand well, and cherish our own family traditions. We hope that our children will pass them on to future generations. This book is a passing on, not just of the Divine Liturgy itself, but of the history and reasons behind each phrase, each movement therein.

After being Rroman Catholic for 60 years I realized I never completely understood how the Liturgury can bring you into the presense of the Trinity in this life. This takes you step by step through the Mass. It explains each detail and you will experience Creation, the Passion of Christ, the Resurrection, the Blessed Mother and her role in Salvation, the forgiveness of sins but most of all the eternal love of Christ. He is truly in our midst and and shall always be.
