Beautiful illustration, lovely poems. This was nice, but I didn't find the depth that I found in some other Lenten Devotionals.

Nice little devotional for Lent.

[Thomas (Tom) Baynham,Jr.]

The book's cover is what attracted me, and I wasn't disappointed! Like the Bruggemann book, the reflections were prophetic and timely in reminding Christians of their call to welcoming and ministry to the outcast.
