Synopsis

The forty days of Lent represent a special time of preparation. James G. Kirk's meditations are meant to help Christians use this time well. Based on Scripture readings from the lectionary, his meditations lead individuals to center their attention on the Easter mystery. Daily, a biblical theme such as mercy, forgiveness, or judgment is highlighted and each day's meditation concludes with a prayer. Classic illustrations by Virgil Solis, a contemporary of Martin Luther King, enhance the volume.

About the Author:

James G. Kirk is Pastor of Harundale Presbyterian Church in Glen Burnie, Maryland.

From Library Journal:

Written to help readers assess their faith and identify areas of needed growth, each of these meditations (one a day from Ash Wednesday through Easter) begins with a passage from Scripture, then explores implications for spiritual guidance. Thoughts in particular pieces (on "Work," "Wilderness," "Care-giving," etc.) gradually cohere to shape a theology in which sinful human nature calls for discipline and endurance, but God's mercy and grace ultimately triumph over darkness.
