A day by day devotional guide for the 40 days of Lent, each day begins with a theme/statement before adding some commentary, followed by some reflection questions and a scripture reference. Most of the daily themes were focused around the various sins associated with our self-centered nature and became a little repetitive by the end (probably not as noticeable if you actually read 1 each day instead of straight through). The commentary was hit or miss for me. There was a fair amount of personal vignettes and associated interpretations that I just didn’t identify with or did not agree with to various degrees. There were also a few that actually hit home. Regardless, they all provided a starting point for the daily reflection questions … which also provides the primary benefit of this devotional because you can make the theme of the day personal. This is good since even the commentary gets more rudimentary towards the end of the season.

I was given this free advance reader copy (ARC) ebook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
