Christmas is almost upon us, which means it is time to start thinking about Lent and Easter. (Yes, the calendar is unrelenting.) On the Way to the Cross: 40 Days with the Church Fathers (IVP), edited by Thomas C. Oden and Joel Elowsky, is a wonderful Lenten devotional resource drawing content (prayers, confessions, Scripture reading and reflections) from the church fathers. This is an excellent way to help our congregants begin to connect with the richness of the ancient church.
