註釋A CONFESSION AND AN INVITATION Each year, like many Christians, I look for a book to be part of my Lenten devotions and there is never any shortage of excellent candidates. However, this year, I had a problem. It wasn't their fault - it was mine. I once read of an old Methodist preacher who described himself by saying, "I am just a jobbing Christian - one who has been long at his trade but not yet master of it" - and reluctantly I had to admit that that was me too - 'just a jobbing Christian'. Compared with me, all those Lenten writers seemed so competent, expert and assured. They were like cordon bleu chefs whose recipes I might admire but could never hope to cook. So, what was I to do? Why not write my own Lenten meditations for each day as I went along? But where should I look for inspiration?

I decided that it would make great Lenten reading, ..... David Dunn-Wilson Eastbourne
