Bread and Wine: Readings for Lent and Easter (Second Edition)

Easter is the high point of the year for millions of Christians 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 makes time for daily reading and reflection. This time-tested collection of devotions will deepen and stretch your faith, and can be returned to year after year. Culled from the wealth of twenty centuries, the selections are ecumenical in scope, representing the best classic and contemporary Christian writers.

This expanded second edition adds dozens of voices, new and old, and takes the reader all the way through Eastertide to Pentecost.
