This is the follow-up to the massively successful Lent for Everyone: Luke Year C, bringing Lent reading to a new audience.
The book gently takes the reader through the designated Lectionary readings for every day of Lent and Easter. The Bible readings are Tom Wright’s own clear and accessible translations from Matthew for Everyone (SPCK, 2002). Each passage is followed by a freshly written reflection and a prayer that will help readers to ponder the relevance of Matthew’s Gospel for their own lives.
Suitable for both individual and group study and reflection, Tom Wright’s Lent book will allow readers to make Matthew their own, thoughtfully and prayerfully. It will help to make the journey through Lent a period of rich discovery and growth.
