Product Description
Product Description
How can we use Lent to deepen our relationship with God and reinvigorate our daily living? Retreats are increasingly popular but the classic 8-day version is nowadays too daunting or too expensive for most. Here is a resource for both first-timers and the more experienced: a journey of personal prayer to be made over the period of one Lent, slowly integrating formal prayer times and the routine activities of daily living into a deeper encounter with God. The material is equally suitable for the reader at home, or for groups, or can be adapted to a residential retreat (either self-guided or directed). Effective use of prayer time is explored, with the emphasis on practical suggestions and ideas including scripture and poetry, meditation, contemplation, journalling and intercession. A 'prayer journey' through Lent, increasingly involving the whole person, opens up a world of spiritual possibilities by encouraging a deeper relationship with God and a reconnection with daily living, reinvigorated and hopeful.

This is an honest, deeply human, encouraging and challenging book for anyone who wants to deepen their life with Christ especially during the period of Lent. Highly recommended. Sr. Mary Hinde

I read many Lent books, not because I feel that I need them but in order to recommend them to people in my congregation. Many of them have too much material from the author and don't demand too much work from the reader. Baring in mind that these books are the only Christian book some may ever read in the course of the year, they are important.
What distinguishes this book is the minimal text and the maximum of exercises. They are varied, to suit different spirituality styles and I gained a lot from it myself, for a change. It made my lent a `springtime for the soul,' which is what it is meant to be.

This ia a very helpful book if you like to spent time alone but cannot go away to do this. The ideas are easy to follow and certainly improved my meditation technique.
