Happy New Year to you, especially if this is your first email of review updates.
The focus this time is on Lent resources – we have highlighted five of our favourites below but you can type in ‘Lent’ to the search bar on the site to find more. For example, fans of CS Lewis might like to wrestle with gritty subjects such as suffering, God’s absence and hell in Not a Tame Lion by Hilary Brand, based on his writings.
Enjoy searching – we hope we have saved you some time and effort!
Reviewed Resources for Lent
Life Attitudes
A5-session course on the Beatitudes. Learn lessons for life . . . Ideal for house, cell and study groups.
Jesus lived out the Beatitudes – or ‘beautiful attitudes’ – in his earthly life and called his followers to do the same. This 5-session course grapples with these eight radical sayings from St Matthew’s Gospel that contain both values for living and promises of blessing.
This book aims to help you discover one simple truth: that God loves you passionately, deeply and unconditionally. Exploring the depth, strength and constancy of this love is a lifetime’s journey and this short series of studies is designed to take you further on that journey.
