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.
