Forty Days of Praying and Pondering Through Lent...
In these reflections for Lent, Barbara Glasson leads us through forty days focusing on the theme of water: its power, potential, terror and gentleness, providing a deep well of daily prayer and meditation.
Covering issues both domestic and international, Barbara seeks to centre our Lenten reflections on the water that both gives us life and which challenges us to live for justice.
As Barbara herself says: ‘Our relationship with water is primal: all life depends on the abundance of a fresh, clean water supply. And yet so many live with drought, thirst and wilderness. In these reflections, I hope you will come to understand the power and beauty of water, and how it relates to the transformative, sustaining power of prayer.’

The six weeks of Lent are a time of preparing: a time when we seek to understand the fullness of Christ's offering on the cross and rejoice in the resurrection. Lent is a time to improve our prayer life and to make sure we spend some time each day with our God.David Adam, author of many inspiring books on prayer and spirituality, presents here daily prayers that are a spur to help us enter into stillness with our God of love. The weekly themes are: dedication, love, guidance, the help of God, the power of God.
A Season of Grace is your essential guide to spiritual renewal and intimate connection with God.
Each year, the Church offers the season of Lent as a time of preparation and spiritual renewal, culminating in the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus. This season of hope and love shares the message of Jesus, inviting you to return to the Lord and deepen your relationship of intimacy with the God of salvation.
Written by Sister Siobhán O'Keeffe S.S.H.J.M., this book challenges you to embrace practices of prayer, fasting, and service, compelling you to cast aside prejudice and stand as a voice for the voiceless in a world of injustice.
Journey with Jesus towards his glorious resurrection and experience his cleansing and healing, leading to a deeper union with God.

To deepen our devotional life we need a focus for our thoughts, spiritual food to nurture our faith and discipleship. Daily Lent Reflections makes more accessible the spiritual sustenance already offered by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount.For each of the 40 days of Lent, there are readings, reflections, prayers and points to ponder on themes such as forgiving others, doing that little bit extra in God's service, choosing the way of the kingdom instead of the often-enticing 'way of the world', seeking God's will rather than our own, valuing and respecting others.How do we work out such ideas in terms of daily life? What are their implications for us today? This book sets out to answer such questions, bringing home the challenge, promise, encouragement and inspiration implicit within the teaching of Jesus.
