Fr Bill East brings a wealth of experience to this book of sermons for every Sunday of cycle B in the lectionary.  All it takes is a good soaking in the Word of God, a quiet heart to pray through it, a mind attuned to the Spirit to ruminate on it, a life-time of experience to reflect on it, a pastor’s skills to apply it and a smattering of culture to illustrate it.  Quite simple really!  Added to all that Bill has had the generosity and courage to share the fruits of his labours with us.  I am sure that many will read and use this book with gratitude and joy.  €9.99
