Ashes to Glory is an attractively produced program that offers brief (two-and-a-half-minute) devotions for each of the 40 days and seven Sundays of Lent (covering the period from Ash Wednesday through Easter Sunday). Beginning with a reflection on the metamorphosis of the butterfly as a symbol of God's transforming power, the program progresses through the season, illustrating various aspects of the religious journey through symbols and customs, poetry, and works of art and music, culminating in devotions specific to Holy Week. Providing a novel, simple framework for daily observance of Lent, DVD extras here include PDF scripts for all 47 days and daily bible readings in four translations (King James Version, New International Version, New Living Translation, and New Revised Standard Version-Catholic). Recommended. Aud: P. (J. Reed)
