Prepare yourself to remember the meaning of Lent and celebrate Easter this grace for our past and present, hope for our future! Beginning with Ash Wednesday, Grace & A 40-Day Devotional for Lent and Easter will guide you through this holy season of self-reflection, prayer, fasting, and remembrance—all to prepare you for the hopeful words “It is finished!” and even more wondrous words, “He is risen!” Each short, engaging devotional will focus your heart and prepare your soul to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus, using a faithful and relevant new translation of the Bible, The Passion Translation. It is an ideal devotional for your own personal, family, or small-group use. And daily Bible readings from The Passion Translation will deepen your understanding of God’s Word as you journey toward the cross. We trust this devotional and version of Scripture will kindle in you a burning, passionate desire for the One who bore our pain and shame, and give you a greater measure of grace and hope!
I would recommend this devotional because though it keeps the reader reminded and contemplative of the incredible suffering and death Jesus went through, it never lets one forget why He chose to go through all of that; because of His even more incredible love for you and me. I also love the use of The Passion Translation (TPT) for all the scriptures on this journey of remembrance to the cross. The way TPT uses the Aramaic and Hebrew biblical source material really allows the reader to get a view of God's heart through the scriptures and not only His mind.
This book is the perfect companion for the season of Lent. It gave me an entirely fresh perspective on the final days of Christ. It was astounding. The lessons I learned from this devotional were amazing and have stuck with me through the season to reflect on. This is highly recommended!
