 Welcome to… - Morehouse Publishing, Harrisburg PA, 1999-2007

Titles: Welcome to the Episcopal Church, Christopher L. Webber; Welcome to Sunday, Christopher L. Webber; Welcome to the Church Year, Vicki K. Black; Welcome to the Book of Common Prayer, Vicki K. Black; New Welcome to the Bible, Vicki K. Black & Peter W. Wenner

These are well written and clear discussions of their topic; very useful for those who are new to the Episcopal Church and even of use to long time members. They are formatted with questions for discussion at the end of each chapter and a bibliography at the end of each book. Ideal for Inquirers or Confirmation classes. Welcome to the Bible focuses on how the Bible is used in the Episcopal Church, not on the story of the Bible.
