Publisher's Synopsis
"God meets us in the wilderness. Though most of us have never wandered a literal desert for forty years, we have all spent some time wandering in a wilderness of one kind or another. So, too, have many women across the pages of the Bible. In their stories of doubt and questioning, of dryness and distance, we can find guideposts for the inevitable wilderness periods in our own lives. As we enter into the wilderness season of the church year, this Lenten devotional by Joanna Harader explores the stories of biblical women-from Eve to Mary Magdalene-who had their own such experiences. Some inhabited a literal wilderness, while the wilderness of others was metaphorical. All were drawn closer to God, who does not leave us to wander alone. Embark on a Lenten journey with these women in the wilderness through daily reflections, prayer practices, and questions, as well as Sunday blessings accompanied by beautiful hand-cut paper artwork by Michel
