Each devotion reveals who Jesus Christ is and what He has done. In addition to these devotions, this book contains illustrations, which may be used to create a special "Lenten tree." Each of the forty-one days has prayers, a memory verse, questions for children, and hymns or songs to coincide with the symbol for the day. Lenten activities are suggested for families to do together during Lent.

An excellent book for group study during Lent and Easter, this new edition includes study questions at the end of each chapter. Passio for Pilgrimage is also provocative reading for individuals at any...

This is an account, at once rigorously theological and warmly devotional, of the death and resurrection of Christ, and their significance for the Christian life. Von Balthasar offers sharp insights into some current controversies--for example, the 'bodiliness' of the Resurrection--and spiritual inspiration for the year round. This scholarly reflection of the climax of the Christian year is an established classic of contemporary Catholic theology.

Illustrated throughout with fine art, a beautiful and rewarding Lent and Easter companion

Three Simple Rules for Christian Living
by Jeanne Torrence Finley and Rueben P. Job

This small-group study by Jeanne Torrence Finley is based on Rueben P. Job's book Three Simple Rules: A Wesleyan Way of Living. Six sessions provide extended reflection for adults on three principles of Christian life: do no harm, do good, and stay in love with God. Each rule has a session to help you understand the rule and a session to help you explore ways to practice the rule.

The leader guide includes Scripture and excerpts from Wesley's writings and Rueben P. Job's original book Three Simple Rules. The guide provides commentary and gives youth ministers and study leaders detailed plans for each of the six sessions, discussion questions, activities, and worship ideas.
