Rooted in Love: Lent Reflections on Life in Christ

by Sarah Mullally

Who is the Christ we serve? What does it mean to be part of the body of Christ? How can we live more Christ-centred lives?

Introduced and edited by Sarah Mullally, the Bishop of London, Rooted in Love offers forty reflections for Lent 2021 that lead us deeper into the meaning and practice of life in Christ today. Drawing on the collective wisdom of all the area bishops in the Diocese of London, each reflection includes a Bible reading, a prayer and a suggestion for action based on the reading, to take you through Lent day by day and help you to grow as a disciple and find ways to put God at the centre of your life every day.



Rooted in Love is an exceptionally helpful Lent book, offering a rich array of biblical insight and spiritual guidance that Christians of all traditions will warmly welcome and appreciate. Full of practical encouragement and hope, it will help you draw closer to God during Lent 2021 and to live a more Christ-like life.

[John Howes · Rating 2 out of 5]

Whilst well-intentioned, this is not a particularly exciting or engaging book. The problem is that it has five or six different authors and there is no clear argument or discussion throughout. Irritatingly, it doesn't tell you who has written each chapter (except for the index) - a strange editorial decision. The best chapters are those related to real life with some kind of interesting anecdote. The purely theoretical ones don't really take off. Overall, I don't think the experiment succeeded.

Perfect length devotionals for daily study

A quality series of solid reflections for Lent from the bishops in the Diocese of London, though some more substantive than others. The only shortcoming is that the reflections make many references to the COVID-19 pandemic, which will (God willing) date this book in a (hopefully) short time.
