LENT AND EASTER PRAYER AT HOME

From Ash Wednesday to Easter, many Christians focus on the rituals that occur in church, whether that entails waving fronds on Palm Sunday or taking communion on Maundy Thursday. In this devotional, Boyer shows readers how to become more aware of ordinary domestic life during Lent, attending to small details of daily experience. The book is full of eclectic insights (for example, that the word "Carnival" means "farewell to flesh," signaling one's entrance into the grave Lenten season). (Jan.)
