Observe the final days of Jesus’ life before His death and resurrection with this Lent and Easter devotional. Starting on Ash Wednesday and going through Easter Sunday, read a devotion a day including a printed verse, a Bible passage for reflection, and a short prayer. Designed as a quick study for the whole family, the forty-seven devotions have real-life applications and relevant biblical connections.
2024 Lent Theme “Be Gracious to Me” is based on Psalm 41 and Jesus’ sacrifice for our forgiveness. Though we don’t deserve it, Jesus suffered and died so we could have eternal life. Now, during Lent, we thank Him, remember Him, and ask Him to continue to be gracious to us.
My name is Jonathan Schkade (pronounced "Skah-dee," rhymes with "body"), and here are a few important facts about me: * I write books for kids and teens that talk about Jesus and how much God loves us. * I grew up in Texas and now live with my wife and daughters in Jefferson City, Missouri. * I've published a number of books, including "Not-So-Nice Bible Stories: Master Criminals (2017); "The Love Bridge" (2017); "Not-So-Nice Bible Stories: Gory Deaths"; and "Icky Sticky, Hairy Scary Bible Stories." * I love eating tater tots, inhaling movies, playing as many board games as possible, and daydreaming for fun and profit.

I read this during Lent and just today thought, "Huh--I wonder if this is on Goodreads?" Well, it has an ISBN, which should've been my first clue that *of course* it's on Goodreads!
Beginning on Ash Wednesday and ending on Easter Sunday, it provides a daily Bible reading, a verse or two extracted from the reading, a brief devotional, and a short prayer. As is usually my way with a devotional, each day I also journaled my thoughts.
This booklet was a nice companion to my Lenten journey, and I recommend it for anyone wanting to increase their spiritual focus a bit more during the season.
