Pollard has written a bright new collection of short homilies based on the Gospel readings for the Sundays and feast days of Year A. Unlike many collections, the author focuses on the Gospel text alone, rather than including reflections on all three readings. Each homily contains very short textual explication, and then concentrates on the core message and its pastoral application to contemporary life.

This title is part of the Hillenbrand Books imprint, pastoral resources series.
