As I type this, Ash Wednesday is a little over a month away and so here are a few suggestions for your Lenten reading.
I Am With You by Kathryn Greene-McCreight. Examine the biblical portrayal of God’s presence among us as light in darkness. Close readings of scripture are woven into a framework patterned on the seven monastic hours of prayer and the seven days of creation. This is the Archbishop Of Canterbury’s Lent Book 2016.
