A Feast for Lent

Delia Smith needs no introduction… She has opened many eyes to see how simple it can be to produce food that is good to eat…

She may be able to do for the Scriptures what she has done for the kitchen. Many people for whom the Bible is a mysterious and uncomfortable book will be encouraged by her meditations, and perhaps helped by them to read the Word of God for themselves.

Delia Smith is writing about her own voyage of discovery. Her choice of readings land the sharing of her thoughts and prayers as she reads) takes us through the steps of conversion-that change of heart and mind that must begin with the recognition of our own weakness and reach out for peace in the compassion and kindness of God.

This is a helpful and hopeful book, where the Word of God steps out of the past to become a personal and moving experience in everyday life. It is an experience we could all come to share more deeply this Lent!
