Harriet Harris takes the themes of Lent and Holy Week and makes them strikingly relevant to our lives today. Each chapter begins with a Biblical story, from the various readings set for this season, and moves on to consider its significance for us today. The questions tackled include: What makes you fear and tremble? Where is God in that struggle?; Do we need to change how we spend our money, how we acquire our money, the people we wish to impress, the things we aim to do well? and Do people ever become better by being excluded, or by excluding others?.
