Each year I purchase a book to read during Lent. A few years ago, at the suggestion of another freeper, I devoted my lenten journey to this book.
The author, C. Bernard Ruffin (born 1947) is an American non-fiction writer who has written many books on religious subjects. He currently resides in Reston, Virginia where he taught history for twenty-five years at South Lakes High School. He is assistant pastor at Holy Comforter Lutheran Church in Washington, DC.
The book is very well researched and most insightful. I would encourage you to pick up a copy. Below is the link to this book on Amazon.
