Purchased this book street reading a small excerpt in an advertisement. It caught my attention. When I began the book, I discovered that it’s really two books in one. Each of the 40 “daily readings” includes a scripture-based devotional narrative - plus a much more technical explanation of the practice of Lent throughout history. Honestly, I was so enthralled by the devotional narrative, I found the historical study notes to be distracting to read on a daily basis. Soon, I chose to save the history notes for a later study and just immersed myself in the author’s wonderful daily narrative describing Jesus showing is the way of DECREASE as an act of Love. I didn’t even finish the book before buying several more copies to gift to my pastor and the other elders in our church body. It’s a wonderful book.Read full review
