Lent is a time of new beginnings. In Following Christ, you'll follow in the footsteps of Jesus from Gethsemane to the Resurrection by way of the 15 stations of the cross. Each station begins with Scripture, reflection, and a quotation from an early church father or saint. This Lenten reader gives you a devotional for every morning and evening of Lent, plus the seven Lenten Sundays, even though Sundays are not traditionally counted in the forty days of the season. Open your eyes, ears, and heart this season and let the fresh air of Christ burst in! Paperback.

Take this season to listen and look for Christ's presence in your life. Lent is a time of new life and fresh beginnings.

You'll find the life-changing wisdom of Francis of Assisi, Hildegard of Bingen, Thomas a Kempis, Richard Rolle, Benedict of Nursia, Julian of Norwich, Catherine of Siena, Teresa of Avila, the Desert Fathers and Mothers, and others. Because each was a person of fervent life and passionate prayer, their words reveal how our waiting on God, and seeking God's will, lead to a life of meaning and joy.
