Daily Devotionals Inspired by Shakespeare
For those who love Shakespeare and Scripture, this is the best of both.
Shakespeare’s writings are filled with classic biblical themes, such as guilt, redemption, sacrifice, forgiveness, and grace. Each chapter in the book is followed by a topical scripture reading and responsive prayer.
For those who seek spiritual insight, this is a mirror to the soul.
The Gospel According to Shakespeare moves the reader from the sheer enjoyment of a good play or sonnet to a personal spiritual journey that allows each of us to take an honest inventory of our moral selves and be called higher.
