Publisher's Synopsis
People of God have for many centuries read devotional works along with holy Scripture, especially during Advent and Lent. Usually these are safe and spiritual, somewhat poetic possibly, and extremely devotional. Here William Stringfellow's writings are brought to bear on Lent, with the predictable responses of awe, shock, surprise, conviction, identity, integrity, and such. There is no easy spirituality in Stringfellow. He is straightforward, radically biblical, socially aware, and spiritually disquieting. Lent will never be the same.
