Every Moment Holy, Volume II: Death, Grief, & Hope

by Douglas Kaine McKelvey, Ned Bustard (Illustrator)

Overview

Every Moment Holy, Volume II: Death, Grief, and Hope, is a book of liturgies for seasons of dying and grieving — liturgies such as "A Liturgy for the Scattering of Ashes" or "A Liturgy for the Loss of a Spouse" or "A Liturgy for the Wake of a National Tragedy."
