DESCRIPTION

Rediscover the true meaning of the most sacred season of the year through this fresh collection of 47 Lenten devotions. Slow down. Appreciate the ultimate sacrifice made by Christ on your behalf. Remember what it means to draw near to God. Begin the season with guided reflection, journaling, silence, Scripture reading from the four Gospels, and prayer. Each of these well-written devotions is especially designed to help you attend to Jesus' sacrifice, and to apply the message of the Passion to your own life.

Day by day, you will be drawn into thoughtful reflection and the peace that is generated by solitude and a reorganization of priorities. Additional helps are included in the appendix to adapt the readings for small-group or family devotions. Even if your faith tradition doesn't ordinarily include Lenten devotions, you will find these reflections a welcome time of refreshment and retreat.
