Praise for the Print Edition
Like Mark’s Gospel, Wright’s pace gradually builds up, a massive locomotive steaming towards the ‘perfect storm’ of Holy Week and Easter, demanding a commitment costing not less than everything: ‘We cannot be Easter people if we are not first Good Friday people and then Holy Saturday people.’ A fitting end; and beginning.

Nicholas Thomas “Tom” Wright (1948–) has been named by Christianity Today as one of our time’s top theologians. He is currently professor of New Testament and early Christianity at St. Andrews University. Wright holds a bachelor’s degree in theology, a master’s in Anglican ministry, and a DPhil, all from University of Oxford.
A fellow and chaplain at Cambridge from 1978 to 1981, he then served as assistant professor of New Testament language and literature at McGill University in Montreal. Before becoming a chaplain, tutor, lecturer, and fellow at Oxford in 1986, Wright served as dean of Lichfield Cathedral, canon theologian of Westminster Abbey, and bishop of Durham.
His academic work has usually been published under the name “N. T. Wright,” but works such as What St. Paul Really Said and Simply Christian, aimed at a more popular readership, were published under the less formal name of “Tom Wright.”

Whilst this devotional is obviously geared towards those of us in a Liturgical Setting (thus the "Year B") in the title, it is a fine book for all. For those who want something a bit "meatier" (say rather than a short passage, and a short devotional thought) for their journey through Lent and Easter (up till the Saturday following Easter Sunday), then this is a good choice. However, I would think it is also a good choice for those who don't traditionally observe Lent as they prepare themselves for Easter. Of course you could just as easy use this at any time of the year, for a good focus on Jesus - his ministry, his crucifixion and his resurrection.
