The Christian Aid/Hodder Lent Book 2002.
'A saviour whose love for us is so great that he both suffers with us and, with his father, offers us new life.'
Written by members of the staff of Christian Aid, together with contributions from distinguished theologians from outside the organisation, this book prestents a daily programme of Bible reading, reflection and prayer for every day of Lent - from Ash Wednesday to Easter Day.
The theme of 'Hope For Life' is explored through readings on such topics as Jesus reaching out to outsiders, welcoming strangers and forgiving failure, and looks forward to the new earth promised in Revelation. Each week begins with a reflection on one of the "I am" sayings of Jesus.
This is an ideal Lent Book for anyone looking to combine the discipline of daily Bible reading and prayer appropriate to the season with the opportunity to think more widely about some of the issues which are of crucial importance to our world today - among them justice, peace and conflict, and the crisis of HIV/AIDS.
