There are an array of books available for Lent. Might I suggest for 2024 The Folly of God – A Journey of The Cross, A Path to Light based on the art and inspiration of Sieger Koder?

Koder was born in Germany and served in the Second War and as a prisoner of war between 1944 and 1945. After the war he studied art in Stuttgart eventually being ordained as a Roman Catholic priest in 1971.

Koder explores the Christian message through his art. The image featured here is taken from a print of one of his works that hangs in the Chaplain’s vestry.

Each picture requires thoughtful prayer and is accompanied by a reflective text. They are not meant to be rushed through. But then neither is Lent if it is to helpful on our Christian journey.
