Journey Through the Cross - Meditations for Lent
About the book
During the forty days prior to Easter, Christians of many faith traditions remember the final journey Jesus of Nazareth took through the cross and into eternity. It is just history until we take our own journey of faith to the cross and make it our story. Every day of the Lenten season, beginning on Ash Wednesday, we have the opportunity to take a fresh look at His words, His relationships, His sacrifice and to discover how our lives can be more fulfilling by being more like Him.
In Journey Through the Cross: Meditations for Lent, you will find forty devotional readings which include a scripture text, an interpretative thought and a prayer starter to help you along this journey of discovery. In addition, for each Sunday of Lent, a special devotion is provided with encouragement to “Delve Deeper” and take action which may impact your life far beyond these few days.

If we are ever to be made whole, it will not happen by waiting on the sidelines, by someone else carrying us along, or by magical rituals. Jesus is the only way for a life to be made whole again. We must believe in His authority, pick up our own baggage, and walk away from old beliefs and habits that cripple us. Get up, pick it up and start walking!
Prayer Starter
Today I commit to getting off the sidelines. Help me leave the past behind, forgive myself and start strengthening my faith as I walk forward with You.
The Fourth Sunday of Lent – Do Something
