For centuries Lent has been a time when Christians stop and take
stock of their lives. It is a time for revisiting the story of
Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. It is a time of focusing on
our sinfulness and the need to repent, as well as a season in which
we focus on putting aside our luxuries and making sure that others
have what they need. All of these themes, and more, are explored in
this collection of Anglican readings that begin with Ash Wednesday
and end on the Saturday of Easter Week.
These readings are arranged in a regular sequence through each
week of Lent. Sunday readings focus on God s love, Mondays on the
need for discipline, Tuesdays on fasting, Wednesdays on prayer,
Thursdays on sin, Fridays on the cross, and Saturdays on
baptism.
A Time to Turn draws on the best sermons, books, poems, and
hymns of Anglican writers throughout the centuries, with a reading
for each day, followed by the brief suggestion for focusing the
reader's meditations. Writers include Christina Rossetti, John
Donne, Philips Brooks, John Keble, Thomas Traherne, Harriet Beecher
Stowe, and many others. Brief biographies are included, along with
a bibliography for those who would like to read more from a given
writer. "
