The Light of Glory: Readings from John Donne for Lent and Easter Week
by John Donne
Category: Religion

The prose and poetry of John Donne come newly alive in these fresh translations for day-by-day Lenten reading. For each day of Lent, and Sundays in Lent as well, a passage is provided from the writings of John Donne. On Sundays, one of the "Holy Sonnets" is given, along with a brief prayer. This modern rendering of language almost 400 years old joins the wisdom of Donne's writing with sensitivity to contemporary ideas.
