In many ways, Easter is supposed to be the high-point of the year for Christians, where we remember the three days that changed history for ever. But for many of us, the day quickly comes and goes without us really feeling any different.

These daily readings present deep theology in a concise and understandable way, allowing you to soak up the real meaning of Christ's death and resurrection.

The Sunday reading provides an introduction to the passage as a whole, while the rest of the week's reflections work through it in smaller sections. A carefully selected prayerdrawn from the rich work of writers throughout church historyis included each day.

So this Lent, prepare your heart with 47 days of short and stirring reflections from the Gospel of John.

This devotional looks at the transfiguration of Jesus in depth, giving readers a glorious lens through which to view Jesus during Lent and Easter.

Tim Chester says: The transfiguration is a light that illuminates the meaning of the cross and resurrection. As we look deeper, well discover that its not just Jesus who is transfigured. His promise is that we, too, can be transfigured by the light he brings to our lives.
