Examine how the God of the universe uses the broken pieces of our lives to reframe our purpose, turning our discarded hopes and dreams into something beautiful and useful—a mosaic in which God uses all of the pieces. The author says, "This journey will take us along the same path Jesus walked in the days surrounding his journey to Jerusalem. We will see the similarities to our own stories as well as the lessons we should pick, like pebbles along the path." This seven-session study, appropriate for both group and individual use, provides one lesson for each week in Lent. Each lesson includes a key Scripture reference, a brief reading, questions for reflection or discussion, a brief prayer, and guided helps for daily Scripture reading and additional reflection in the coming week.
I got a lot out of this study in terms of clarifying my intentions and nurturing and reconciling relationships. I learned to identify the brokenness and create a plan for repairing it while making space for God to do His work. This guidance was what I found most valuable. Some of the chapters were stellar and others left much to be desired. Some bible verses were enlightening and others didn't seem to apply to the message at all. Overall, a solid biblical study that can really add a lot to your life if you dive in, complete the assignments, and give prayerful reflection.
