Review Quotes: "Tour de Force is an understatement for this new work led by Dr. John W. Martens and Fr. Paul Turner. The Liturgy and Life Study Bible is one of those rare inspirations that leaves one thinking, 'How did we attempt to celebrate the Liturgy and to preach without it.' This is a work that will open to presiders and to all the faithful the all-encompassing Scriptural rootedness of the Liturgy of the Church, which was so greatly enhanced in the renewal following the Second Vatican Council. I can hardly wait to make this study Bible an integral part of my ministry and my spiritual life!"
Most Reverend Mark J. Seitz, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of El Paso
