Lent is a time for introspection, for reflecting on the death of Jesus, the cross and what it means to us as Christians. It is also a time for joy and for looking forward to the New Life that Easter promises.
This devotional will take you through the forty days of Lent and up to Easter, each day bringing a unique and refreshing focus on New Life. Each reading is brought to you by a member of The Association of Christian Writers and brings their personal point of view to the bible passage. Prepare to be moved, overjoyed, humbled and challenged, but most of all prepare to meet with Christ.
Wendy H. Jones lives in Scotland, and her police procedural series featuring Detective Inspector Shona McKenzie, is set in the beautiful city of Dundee, Scotland. Wendy has led a varied and adventurous life. Her love for adventure led to her joining the Royal Navy to undertake nurse training. After six years in the Navy she joined the Army where she served as an Officer for a further 17 years. This took her all over the world including Europe, the Middle East and the Far East. Much of her spare time is now spent travelling around the UK, and lands much further afield. As well as nursing Wendy also worked for many years in Academia. This led to publication in academic textbooks and journals. Killer's Countdown is her first novel and the first book in the Shona McKenzie Mystery series
A selection of daily readings intended for the 40 day period of Lent, all contributed by different writers. An amazing variety unfolds before you; some are funny, some take the form of little contemporary stories, others are deeply moving accounts of personal trauma, others are poems, or reflections, or devotional pieces. Well worth reading at any time of years, I can highly recommend this.
Well I’m just a teeny tiny bit biased about this one seeing as how I had the privilege of contributing to it as a member of the Association of Christian Writers. The mix of writers makes it a very interesting devotional journey through Lent.
