GoodBookStall Review:
Many people will give something up for Lent, chocolate, cakes, coffee, alcohol or some other treat. Some even go vegetarian for Lent. Many people though, even in the Church, see this as a time for dieting rather than the traditional time of preparation for Easter. In Giving It Up Maggie Dawn takes us afresh through the Easter story and challenges us to give up more than chocolate and to think about what we are giving up. In a time of recession there are things we could give up that cost little but are of tremendous value, by calling us to think in these terms Maggie Dawn helps us rediscover the heart of Lent and the message of Easter.
