Join Tom Wright on a transformative journey through the Gospels as he explores the life and impact of the highs and lows of his earthly ministry, the power of his teaching and his victory over sin and death.
Offering seven weeks' worth of daily readings and reflections, Lent and Easter for Everyone enables you to relive Christ's journey - from his temptations in the wilderness to the darkness of the cross and beyond into the glory of Easter.
Each reflection is drawn from a key passage in Wright's immensely popular For Everyone series, and each one ends with practical suggestions for personal reflection or group discussion.
Whether used individually or in groups, Lent and Easter for Everyone serves as a trusted companion, encouraging spiritual growth, deepening understanding, and fostering a renewed sense of hope and purpose as you continue your Christian journey.

Lent and Easter for Everyone: From Wilderness to Glory Reviews
-
I have to confess that I have never read N.T. Wright’s academic publications, but his ‘For Everyone’ books are just that; for everyone. Tom Wright has the knack of presenting concepts and ideas in a way which is thoughtful, knowledgeable and insightful but manageable for anyone, from the academic to the lay person with only the most basic of understanding of the Christian message.
This book, based on its structure and title, is obviously intended to be read on a daily basis through the season of Lent and Easter. It provides a guide though the major concepts of this time using short scripture passages and a related teaching for each day. I may have made this sound dry a dry sort of read – it is anything but: it is accessible and enlightening and truly excellent. The problem is that each section is so good that rather than pause and reflect, you are drawn to continue to the next day’s reading, but that can hardly be considered a negative point!
