An unparalleled anthology of reflections for Lent and Easter.
Has there ever been a more hard-hitting, beautifully written,
theologically inclusive anthology of writings for Lent and Easter?
It's doubtful. Many readers may well find that this collection-a
sequel to Plough's highly successful Watch for the Light: Readings
for Advent and Christmas-is the one book they return to year after
year, forgoing their usual custom of buying a new Lenten devotional
each spring. Six separate sections (Invitation, Temptation,
Passion, Crucifixion, Resurrection and New Life) guide readers
through the essential elements of spiritual preparation and feature
writings from some of Christendom's most celebrated masters.
Classic thinkers such as Martin Luther and John Donne share space
with 20th-century theologians like C.S. Lewis, G.K. Chesterton and
Dorothy Day. There is also a generous sampling from contemporary
writers, including Philip Yancey, John Updike, Frederick Buechner,
Madeleine L'Engle, Henri Nouwen and Brennan Manning. Caveat lector:
no one should have this much pleasure during Lent!
