Bread and Wine

An anthology of reflections for Lent and Easter.

An unparalleled anthology of reflections for Lent and Easter.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Though Easter (like Christmas) is often trivialised by the culture at large, it is still the high point of the religious calendar for millions of people around the world. And for most of them, there can be no Easter without Lent, the season that leads up to it.

A time for self-denial, soul-searching, and spiritual preparation, Lent is traditionally observed by daily reading and reflection. Hence this new collection, which promises to satisfy the growing hunger for meaningful and accessible devotions.

Culled from the wealth of 20 centuries, the selections in Bread and Wine are ecumenical in scope and represent the best classic and contemporary Christian writers. The book includes approximately 50 readings on Easter and related themes by Thomas à Kempis, Frederic Buechner, Oswald Chambers, G.K. Chesterton, Alfred Kazin, Jane Kenyon, Søren Kierkegaard, Thomas Merton, Henri Nouwen, Oscar Romero, Blaise Pascal, Christina Rossetti, Dorothy Sayers, Edith Stein, John Updike, Walter Wangerin, William Willimon, Philip Yancey, and others.
