11.95
WJK: 0-664

In a powerful and creative way, renowned author and speaker Ann Weems brings new insight into the Lenten and Easter seasons by providing seventy-one poems of inspiration.

For example:

Bunny and basket are under attack.
The TV evangelist, shaking his fist,
is preaching against the Easter bunny.
This time it's serious:
for Easter dinner
he's serving rabbit to the poor.
The question I have is this:
Does bunny bashing
lead people to love the Lamb?

With her intuitive and heartening poems, Weems takes the reader on a pensive journey through Lent and Easter.

ANN WEEMS, writer, speaker, liturgist, and workshop leader, is author of Searching for Shalom, Kneeling in Bethlehem, Family Faith Stories, Reaching for Rainbows: Resources for Creative Worship, and Psalms of Lament. Recalling Easter as a child, she says, "I remember the Easter egg hunts on green lawns and in our living room. I remember pastel dresses and patent leather shoes. I remember roast lamb with mint jelly. I remember the abundance of flowers and the overloaded Easter baskets. But most of all I remember the hot cross buns on Good Friday morning and going to church instead of school and the inevitable sermons on the last words of Jesus and wondering why, in the face of the cross and death, this day is called 'Good.'"
