Review:

If you have ever fallen short of your Lenten resolutions, take this book with you wherever you go this Lent! Whether waiting at a doctor's office, silently sitting outdoors during your lunch break, or deliberately spending time with Jesus at Adoration, Mary DeTurris Poust's insightful words in Not by Bread Alone will walk you through each day's Scripture readings, helping you reflect and meditate on the graces waiting for you during this beautiful season of Lent. Day by day, moment-by-moment, this Lent can, and will, be different.Maria Ruiz Scaperlanda is an award-winning author, including, The Shepherd Who Didn't Run: Fr. Stanley Rother, Martyr from Oklahoma and Rosemary Nyirumbe: Sewing Hope in Uganda

Some years we approach our Lenten disciplines with a sense of enthusiasm; we're ready for the challenge of the desert; we know we will emerge stronger for our time spent thirsting, climbing, and stepping forward in faith. In other years, we may look at Lent with wary eyes, all too familiar with the weight of our faults, and daunted by the bright empty heat into which we must carry them, until we find Jesus, to whom they may be surrendered. Whether you are anticipating Lent as an adventure to be embraced or as a scorching sojourn made in heat and light, Not by Bread Alone is the perfectly balanced Lenten companion for your daily contemplation.Elizabeth Scalia, author of Strange Gods: Unmasking the Idols in Everyday Life and Little Sins Mean a Lot
