The Story
In The Road to Emmaus you will meet eight companions from the past who bring wise counsel for today's spiritual pilgrimage. Join them as you travel through Lent. Easy-to-follow daily readings, scriptural reflections, and prayers will lead you from Ash Wednesday to Easter and beyond. You will move from joy - the joy of creation - through places of darkness and struggle and places of tight, encouragement, and growth to the joy of re-creation. These are your traveling companions: Thomas Traherne, The Venerable Bede, Aelred of Rievaulx, Author of The Cloud of Unknowing, John and Charles Wesley, John Donne, Julian of Norwich. At the end of each week's readings you have a chance to engage body, spirit, and mind in a suggested exercise called 'Performance.' Whether using this book individually or in the company of a small group, you will find new friends in these Christian guides. Book jacket.
