‘[Cottrell’s] love of the work of the artist Stanley Spencer (1891-1959) has relentlessly deepened over 20 years, and he expresses it here with a spiritual breathlessness that is infectious and transformative.’
MARK OAKLEY, CHURCH TIMES
In this devotional book, Stephen Cottrell reflects on five paintings from Stanley Spencer’s Christ in the Wilderness series.
These paintings give us startling insight into Jesus’ own vocation and self-understanding of his ministry. They show his great love for the earth, for the whole created order and for all creatures within it.
For Christians, the wilderness is a place of discovery. By dwelling in the wilderness of these beautiful and provocative paintings, Stephen Cottrell encourages us to refine our own discipleship and learn again what it means to follow Christ.
This book is excellent reading for Lent but can be enjoyed at any time of year. It includes full-colour illustrations, making it a lovely gift book.
