Publisher's Synopsis
In 2020, we felt like the whole year was Lent, giving up everything. As we try to recover our spiritual and emotional equilibrium, having a guide like Lent for Non-Lent People brings thoughtful and compassionate structure to the Lenten season in 2021. Lent for Non-Lent People is a daily guide to prayer, fasting, rest and following Jesus for people who want training wheels for Lent. The first seven chapters are each divided into seven readings, allowing for daily readings, starting the week of Ash Wednesday (2/27/21) and going through Easter (4/4/21). The final chapter provides several strategies to take Lent into the rest of the year.Topics include Lent as an experiment in habit, Lent as finding living food, the forty day fasts of Elijah and Jesus, the conversations Jesus had with several women, having a cup of tea with Jesus, 7 lessons to learn from sleepy disciples, and the difference between routine and ritual.
