Easter ReadingsLenten ReadingsSpiritual ReadingsProduct DescriptionAn unparalleled anthology of reflections for Lent and Easter.
Though Easter (like Christmas) is often trivialized 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. This collection will satisfy the growing hunger for meaningful and accessible devotions. Culled from the wealth of twenty centuries the selections in Bread and Wine are ecumenical in scope and represent the best classic and contemporary Christian writers.
