Lent is the season of repentance and remembrance leading up to Easter Sunday—a time to look long at our sin and look even longer at the cross of Christ. The Lent 2016 Scripture reading plan spans 47 days and includes: a brief explanation of the traditions of Ash Wednesday and Lent; an examination of biblical repentance, fasting, and prayer; a study of God's salvation and mercy in the book of Jonah; a look at the person of Christ as demonstrated by Jesus’ “I AM” statements in the Gospel of John; and a real-time walk through Holy Week, from Christ’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem to His once-for-all victory over the grave.
She Reads Truth is a worldwide community of women who read God's Word together every day. Founded in 2012, She Reads Truth invites women of all ages to engage Scripture through curated daily reading plans, as well as online conversation led by a vibrant community of contributing writers. This community of “Women in the Word of God every day” represents a long list of cities and countries, a variety of backgrounds and traditions, and countless real-life stories. But there is a commonality that binds us: we believe God's Word is Truth. So we read. Every day we read a new passage together—working our way through books of the Bible, topics that matter, and seasons of the Church calendar. We engage with God's Word and with each other. And we keep coming back, on the hard days and the good days, because God and His Word never change, regardless of our circumstances.
