Overview

"ECPA Easter Bestseller 2024 ​""A gorgeously designed hardback with full-color glossy pages, this volume is indeed full of literary treasures for the spring seasons of the church year. Interspersed with the classic writings are color prints of artworks that are pertinent to this season.""- C. Christopher Smith is the founding editor of The Englewood Review of Books. Each year Christians across the globe observe Lent and Easter, anticipating signs of new life and rebirth. In this collection, the editors of Paraclete Press have gathered Scriptures and beloved writings by authors, poets, and saints, combined with reproductions of great works of Christian art. From the ancient words of the Bible, to works of Dostoyevsky, Louisa May Alcott, Henry Van Dyke, Oscar Wilde, Kierkegaard, and Gerard Manley Hopkins, to contemporary voices such as SAID, Scott Cairns, and Nikki Grimes, it is our prayer that these words and images will capture your heart, mind, and spirit, and help you feel encouraged and renewed as you contemplate the love of Christ during these holy days of mystery and miracles."

"""Season of Beauty is a compilation of poems, quotes from important Christian thinkers, short readings, and works of art. Editors at Paraclete Press have chosen works mostly from the Western canon, with some meaningful surprises such as a prayer from Oscar Wilde (a writer not known for his Christian faith) and a stunning Japanese print. This is a flexible choice for those who prefer not to follow a daily or weekly plan, but who seek inspiration throughout the season."" Amy Pagliarella, The Presbyterian Outlook"
