Bestselling author Richard Leonard has written an accessible, engaging, and educational
journey through the history, liturgy, and theology of the seven sacraments, as well as the
Rite of Christian Burial, where history, liturgy, and contemporary theology intersect. The
book expands the ritual and theological horizons of those who have celebrated the sacraments for their whole lives and introduces neophytes to the question of why sacraments are
essential in the Christian life. In addition, it explores the endless possibilities they provide in
developing our Christian lives.
