As the celebration of the classical Roman rite of Mass becomes increasingly common, this Beginnerโs Guide to the Traditional Latin Mass fills a real need. This form of Mass is more elaborate and prayed in an ancient language, so those coming to it for the first time can find it bewildering and hard to navigate. Existing resources often present too much, too fast. Derya Little has provided a simple step-by-step presentation of the Mass with just enough information about the sequence, content, and meaning of its partsโat both Low Mass and High Massโthat anyone, adult or child, can follow and pray more easily. The Beginnerโs Guide opens wide the doors of discovery to this inexhaustible treasure of the Church, paving the way for a fruitful lifelong engagement. Review: Concise and thorough - This book is both concise and covers everything, which is VERY hard to do. It's easy to read, and easy to follow along with. It doesn't contain distracting details and helps you appreciate the Latin mass. I can't wait to go to my first one!! Review: Excellent - This is exactly what my family needed. If you are thinking about going to a Latin Mass for the first time, or like our family had gone a few times, this is the book to get. Looking at all the info online can be a little overwhelming and even confusing, this step by step book is the perfect entry point. I would love to see this made available at all Latin Mass parishes. Just the right amount of information to get you started, the illustrations are great and compliment text perfectly. Thank you for creating this.

A. Succinct Explanation of the Latin Mass Both Low & High
Every action of the priest, from start to finish, is presented so the newbie can follow and understand. There is much beautiful symbolism in the Mass itself revealed in the trad Latin Mass that is not so obvious in the novus ordo version. That was quite a surprise to me. The illustrations were helpful, as are the full Latin & English of the most important and common prayers said at Mass.

Great starter book
This book is great for someone not familiar with the Latin Mass. The Tridentine Mass can be overwhelming at first. This book is a good first step. It just explains what's going on in a very very simple way with pictures. It's not dumbed down. It's just simplified. I got it for my son who has Down Syndrome so he could follow along. It's a little too hard for him just yet. Thanks got reading and say a prayer for us. God bless you.

Great book!
This book is a wonderful resource. My teenager prefers the Latin Mass, and this was a simple way for her to get even more out of it. It breaks down the Mass, including when to kneel and stand, and gives an even greater understanding. Ignore the bad review from the person that hasnโt read the book and dislikes the Latin Mass.

A gem
This little book is an absolute gem. If you feel yourself being drawn to the TLM because of all the nonsense you're seeing in the Catholic church right now, this is definitely the book for you.
