THE MOWBRAY LENT BOOK 2015
FACTOR FORTY COMPANIONS FOR THE FORTY DAYS OF LENT
Lent is the forty-day journey to Easter and the Cross of Good Friday and here Graham James chooses forty travelling companions. Living or historical, famous or entirely unknown, each has played a part in the author’s spiritual formation. He describes their particular ‘X’ factor and uses their stories to reflect on the connection between faith and character. His companions range from Edith Cavell to Charles Wesley via U A Fanthorpe, John Everett Millais, Rabbi Hugo Gryn and Eva Peron. A theme from each brief life is linked to a Bible passage and summed up in a prayer for the day. Graham James is Bishop of Norwich. A regular contributor to BBC Radio 4’s Thought for the Day in recent years, he is a popular speaker, lecturer and broadcaster.
