Synopsis: Does a Lenten book have to be grim? Through Lenten
meditations such as "The Woodlouse Sermon," "The Thomist Football
League," and "The Girl in the Bikini," Martin Thornton pursues the
somber spirituality of Lent with an air of lightheartedness. In the
spirit of G. K. Chesterton and C. S. Lewis, Thornton points to the
humor of Jesus's parables as he devises his own homespun tales that
make a lasting impression with their casual, amusing charm. An
excellent resource for Lenten study groups Author Biography: Martin
Thornton was one of the leading lights in Anglican theology and
spirituality. Of his numerous books, English Spirituality and
Spiritual Direction have helped shape the course of ascetical
theology. Before his death in June 1986, Thornton served for ten
years, as Chancellor of Truro Cathedral. A Joyful Heart was his
last book.
