Our task during Lent is to clear away the clutter from our hearts so we can be fully present to God and our neighbors.

Walking in the Wilderness includes daily reflections for Ash Wednesday through Easter. A spiritual practice is introduced each Sunday of Lent: Being Present, Lament, Lectio Divina, Trust, Compassion, and Hospitality.

"We come hungry to this season of Lent," Beth Richardson writes, "hungry for words of life, for rituals of preparation, for disciplines to help us on our way." Walking in the Wilderness provides a spiritual feast for readers during the longest season of the Christian year.
