Taking Back Lent: Moving with Repentance and Reflection to the Resurrection
Are you looking for a way to set your focus on the true meaning of Lent, but don’t have a lot of time?
Do you want something simple, that you can accomplish easily, yet you want it to add a reflective component to each day as you move through the Lenten season?
Are you looking for easy-to-implement activities that you can do as a way to emphasize the spirit of Lent?
This Lenten devotional may be the perfect way to help us reflect on what we can do to lead holy lives while bringing hope to our days. In these pages you will find an easy-to-understand book that is intentionally not very long, so you can savor each reading in a short period of time. You will find it very convenient to fit this devotional into even the busiest of schedules, yet it will help you experience the peace and hope that this special season brings. The daily readings and activities will help you realize God's mercy and graciousness are awaiting you.
The start of Lent fluctuates each year and traditionally begins Ash Wednesday, which also serves as the entry point for this daily devotional. At the end of each devotional is a section called Today’s Activity, and there you will find simple suggestions on how to implement what you have been reading about. Nothing complicated, just small ways to help you move with repentance and reflection toward the Resurrection during the course of your day.
While regarded as a solemn season, Lent is also a time imbued with joy. We are an Easter people, aware of our sinful state but confident in the blessed assurance of salvation Jesus provides to those who call upon Him as Lord and Savior. This Lenten devotional does not adhere to a specific faith tradition but always abides by Scripture and can be enjoyed by all who follow Jesus Christ. It doesn’t matter how far along you are on your spiritual journey—Taking Back Lent is meant for people in every season of life.
