In this book, author Dean Smith, has compiled eighty-two devotions for both children and adults that will enable individuals and families to travel on a meaningful journey through Lent, the season before Easter. Each devotion reveals who Jesus Christ is and what he has done. Readers will also journey through the events of the last week leading up to Christ's death and resurrection. In addition to these devotions, this book contains illustrations, which may be used to create a special "Lenten tree." Each of the forty-one days has prayers, a memory verse, questions for children, and hymns or songs to coincide with the symbol for the day. Lenten activities are suggested for families to do together during Lent.

The Lenten tree contains Lenten devotions for children and adults. It also includes questions, prayers, a memory verse, and songs.
