From the Back Cover:
The prose and poetry of John Donne (1572-1631) come newly alive in this fresh approach to the timeless wisdom of one of the most enduring and well-loved mystics of the Anglican Church. Unlike most Lent books, The Light of Glory includes readings for the first week of Easter as well as for each of the days of Lent. One of the "Holy Sonnets" plus a brief prayer is provided for each Sunday in Lent. Discover again--or for the first time--Donne's magnificent teachings on sin, repentance, forgiveness, God's mercy, joy, and the light of heaven's glory.
