A diverse collection of readings covering the 46 days of Lent and the 26 days following. A highly recommended companion for the Easter season.

Some of the writings were beautiful and thought-provoking, but many just lacked emotion for me. I marked what stood out to me so that I can return to the essays I like later.

A good collection of writing excerpts organized around the themes of invitation, temptation, passion, crucifixion, resurrection, and new life. I got to know some new authors that I had never heard of before (I really appreciated the thorough bibliography at the end) and enjoyed some new essays from authors that I already like. The poetry was especially good. Will probably pick this up again during a future lent/easter season.

The folks that put this devotional together did a great job. There is a wide variety of authors and subjects from Kathleen Norris through Muggeridge to some folks I have never read before.
This is the third year I have used this book for my Lenten devotions. So far it hasn't gotten old. There are some devotions that I remember from year to year, but that does not affect the impact that the whole collection has.
Every year I read and learn something new. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in looking deeper into your faith.

I like to read through this book during Lent and beyond every two or three years. There are 72 readings from a variety of writers, both dead and alive, from a wide range of thought and theology. Some of my favourite writers are included, namely CS Lewis, Philip Yancey, GK Chesterton, Thomas Merton, and many others. It's one that I know I will read many more times in the years to come.
