Product Overview
Think, pray, and reflect through the stories of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.
The church has always known, intuitively even, that the best way for us to be shaped into the people God wants us to be—the people whose difference from the world around is vital to our witness—is to think and pray slowly and carefully through the stories of Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. In From Wilderness to Glory, best-selling and beloved author N. T. Wright encourages readers to do just that throughout the seasons of Lent and Easter.
Wright opens each day’s devotion with a carefully chosen Scripture selection, and then provides his insightful reflection that not only digs into the reading but also highlights how today’s Christians experience the gospel. He ends each day with thought-provoking discussion questions, prompting readers in both individual and group study settings to ponder the significance of Jesus’ actions, teachings, and relationships.
Access free digital resources, which include a group study guide, images for use during worship or group study, and resources to promote your outreach, at www.wjkbooks.com/LentForEveryone.
Reviews
"If, like me, you rely on N.T. Wright’s "for everyone" series of Biblical commentaries, you know what you have to look forward to with From Wilderness to Glory. Wright accurately subtitled his rendering of the New Testament "a fresh translation" and he shares a gospel passage for each day of Lent. While remaining true to the original Greek, Wright enlivens each passage with dialogue and a story-telling kind of tone. In a brief reflection that reads like a homily, Wright relates the passages to our daily lives and leaves us with a question or two for personal reflection or group discussion. From Wilderness to Glory is ideal for those who prefer to start with the Scriptures and work outward." - Presbyterian Outlook
