Review Quotes:
"In this unique and refreshing guide--forty reflections ideal for Lent or at any time--religion writer and seminary administrator Reverend Scholl combines the ancient spiritual discipline of walking the labyrinth with Mark's words on the life of Jesus. Each is a process of discovery, holding twists and turns, inviting contemplation and keen awareness. Each will prompt us to move ahead, to go deeper. And each has no ending."
