A Lenten Journey offers forty daily invitations of contemplation and action, guiding readers gently from ceasing to strive toward becoming Christ’s peace in the world. Rooted in Christian contemplative spirituality and the teachings of Jesus, this journey unfolds through five movements: learning to notice, learning to release, learning to receive, learning to see clearly, and learning to be given. Each day includes a brief contemplative reflection followed by a simple embodied practice, designed to be received without pressure or performance. Rather than offering techniques or spiritual goals, A Lenten Journey invites a return to presence—where the heart is held, the soul rests in God, and the Spirit quietly shapes a life of compassion, clarity, and peace. Written for Lent but suitable for any season of return, this book is offered to individuals, small groups, chaplains, pastors, and all who long for a faithful, humane, Christ-centered path through suffering, hope, and love.
