MINNEAPOLIS - Places Along the Way: Pocket Devotions for Lent by Martin Marty is now available from Augsburg Fortress. In this classic Lenten devotional, Marty invites us to join him for a journey, one that will visit places familiar and unknown, and help us to consider various aspects of our life with God. Each day during Lent we read from the Bible, and then are taken to a location from that reading, which in turn leads us into a meditation and prayer. Spending a few minutes a day in this way can center us on the Lenten path that leads us to Jesus' saving death and resurrection.

Places Along the Way is also available in an expanded book format, with photographs by Mica Marty.

Martin Marty is author of more than fifty books and the recipient of numerous honors and awards, including the National Book Award. An ordained minister in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, Dr. Marty is professor emeritus at the University of Chicago Divinity School where he taught for more than 35 years and where the Martin Marty Center has been founded to promote "public religion" endeavors.
