Review Quotes:
"Wesley Hill has presented us not with a single Easter lily but a lavish bouquet: scriptural narrative and liturgical drama, baptism and the church, Ascension and Pentecost, hope and healing, and a charge to bear the good news to the world. He wonderfully reminds us that Easter is neither an event trapped in the past nor a single holiday once a year, but fifty days of rejoicing the risen Lord in preparation for his final victory."
--Sarah Hinlicky Wilson, author of Seven Ways of Looking at the Transfiguration
