Angel Food Cake

Bradford Bosworth · 2021
95/100
👍 Worth It

Bradford Bosworth's 40-day Lenten devotional structures each week around one of the five physical senses — with the final Holy Week section turning to spiritual insight and the Holy Spirit. That sensory framework is genuinely creative: it gives familiar scripture and reflection a fresh entry point rather than asking readers to simply read and journal. Reflective questions at the end of each weekly section make it practical for small groups, and an optional fasting component rounds it out as a multi-practice Lenten resource. The title's lightness of angel food cake as a metaphor for spiritual nourishment is a small but apt touch. The honest caveat is that it was self-published through Xulon Press, so editorial rigor is harder to gauge, and no independent critical reviews have surfaced. For Christian adults or small groups looking for a structured Lenten companion, it's a solid, well-designed option.
