Bitter and Sweet: A Journey into Easter

Celebrate A Season of Renewal and Reflection

The theme of bitterness runs through Bible as a sour reminder of sin’s presence in our world—yet it’s because of this bitterness that Jesus’ grace is so sweet and satisfying. As we learn to turn from our vices and crave real beauty, goodness, and truth through the pursuit of virtues, we grow nearer to God and become more like who He made us to be.

From Tsh Oxenreider, bestselling author of Shadow and Light: A Journey into Advent, arrives a devotional to help you meditate and rejoice in the transcendent miracle of Easter. You will…

• uncover what it means to participate in the liturgical traditions of Lent, from fasting to almsgiving
• experience artwork and music that illuminate the impact—both personal and global—of Jesus’s death and resurrection
• contemplate the wonder of Christ’s redemption of all humankind, especially as this time of introspection reveals your human limitations

Starting on Ash Wednesday and leading you all the way through Holy Week, Bitter and Sweet is an invitation to better understand Jesus’s sacrifice as you delight in His ultimate love for you.
