Lent is a season of preparation, a time to return to the desert where Jesus spent forty trying days. But it should never be morose, an annual ordeal during which we begrudgingly forgo a handful of pleasures. Instead, it ought to be approached as an opportunity. After all, it is meant to be the church's springtime, when, out of the darkness of winter, a repentant, empowered people emerges.
This collection of writings from the world's best-loved spiritual writers offers an unparalleled gathering of reflections for Lent. Containing selections grouped around such themes as temptation, crucifixion, resurrection, and new life, Bread and Wine can be dipped into at leisure or used as a guide to daily devotions. It can be for Lent, or can be returned to any time of the year for spiritual revitalization. For breadth of scope and depth of insight, nothing rivals this collection.
Includes writings from: Arnold, Augustine, Chesterton, Gibran, Kierkegaard, C.S. Lewis, Merton, Nouwen, Pascal, Tolstoy, Updike, Yancey, and others.
