Summary:
For centuries Lent has been a time when Christians stop and take
stock of their lives. It is a time for revisiting the story of Jesus'
life, death, and resurrection. It is a time of focusing on our
sinfulness and the need to repent, as well as a season in which we
focus on putting aside our luxuries and making sure that others have
what they need. All of these themes, and more, are explored in this
collection of Anglican readings that begin with Ash Wednesday and end
on the Saturday of Easter Week. These readings are arranged in a
regular sequence through each week of Lent. Sunday readings focus on
GodÂ’s love, Mondays on the need for discipline, Tuesdays on fasting,
Wednesdays on prayer, Thursdays on sin, Fridays on the cross, and
Saturdays on baptism. A Time to Turn draws on the best sermons,
books, poems, and hymns of Anglican writers throughout the centuries,
with a reading for each day, followed by the brief suggestion for
focusing the reader's meditations. Writers include Christina
Rossetti, John Donne, Philips Brooks, John Keble, Thomas Traherne,
Harriet Beecher Stowe, and many others. Brief biographies are
included, along with a bibliography for those who would like to read
more from a given writer.
