Here, for the period from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, is a selection of guided daily Bible readings, drawn from both Old and New Testaments. The material is arranged to explore some of the key themes of Lent, with a week looking at each of desert, journey, conflict, discipline, fruitfulness and – for Holy Week – suffering, especially the sufferings of Christ. In addition to comments which set each passage in context and apply its message for today, there are prayers and suggestions for worship, reflection and further study on the day’s theme.
