I'm enjoying this daily study material, written by the Bishops of the London diocese. It's more meaty than other daily reading schemes with quite a substantive reflection on several verses of scripture plus an Action &amp; a Prayer. There's variety &amp; diversity by virtue of the range of authors, so always something thought-provoking &amp; new to learn. I can imagine using this as my Lent study material every year.
