A Way other than Our Own: Devotions for Lent

Lent recalls times of wilderness and wandering, from newly freed Hebrew slaves in exile to Jesus� temptation in the desert. God has always called people out of their safe, walled cities into uncomfortable places, revealing paths they would never have chosen. Despite our culture of self-indulgence, we too are called to walk an alternative path�one of humility, justice, and peace. Walter Brueggemann�s thought-provoking reflections for the season of Lent invite us to consider the challenging, beautiful life that comes with walking the way of grace.
