Journey through Lent with Best-Selling Author Paul David Tripp "During our forty days together, may your mourning increase so that your joy may deepen." — Paul David Tripp Lent is a time in the yearly Christian calendar when we mourn our sin and let go of worldly things that keep our hearts from experiencing God more fully. But how do we reevaluate and recalibrate the values of our hearts to match those of our suffering Savior? In this forty-day Lenten devotional, best-selling author Paul David Tripp invites us to set aside time from the busyness of our lives to focus on the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus. Each of the short readings encourages us to abide in the abundant joy found in Christ as we encounter the Savior more fully and follow him more faithfully during this Lenten season.

An introduction to Lenten prayer as a path to spiritual renewal. Lent can be wonderful time of spiritual renewal, however for many, Lent and Lenten prayer is often thought of as an "ordeal." What can often be overlooked amid Lenten observances, such as fasting, abstinence, or the common tradition of giving something up, is the opportunity Lent presents, through Lenten prayer and preparation, to deepen our commitment to a way of life rooted in our baptism. Praying Lent: Renewing Our Lives on the Lenten Journey reminds the reader that if we focus too much on what we give up we may miss the message of what God wants to give us during this grace-filled time. Created in partnership with Creighton University's popular Online Ministries, Praying Lent provides readers with a rich, full, and transformative Lenten prayer experience, one in which hearts, minds, and lives are truly renewed as Lent takes on a far deeper and more meaningful purpose.

Let's be honest: it's far too easy to go through day-to-day life without a sense of the mystery, the marvel, or the awe of God's presence. Have you ever felt your relationship with God isn't as vibrant as you want it to be? Have you ever felt like God seemed far away -- even in the midst of devotions, prayer, and church? We Were Created for Wonder You were created and designed to experience wonder. Woven into the fabric of our humanity is an innate ability and desire for the wonder of God. It's felt in the moments when you watch the sun melt behind the horizon, when you reach out to cradle a baby and smell the sweet scent of new life, when you can't help but smile as you witness two wrinkled souls renew their vows to each other. Such moments remind us we were made for something more than deadlines and debt, carpools and coffee breaks. Yet despite such wondrous moments, we can still find ourselves going through the motions of faith. Whether you're: A long time follower of Jesus or still figuring Him out Unemployed, overly-employed, or an entrepreneur A creator, innovator, or conformist Grumpy, ebullient, grey-haired or bed-head An average Joe or have-a-gym-membership-but-never-go A superhero (of any era), supermom, superdad, super grand, super great grand, or don't feel particularly super at all No matter who you are or where you've been -- if you've lived a life where you've seen it all, done it all, or feel like you're past it all -- God still longs to take your breath away. Isaiah 29:4 records God's desire for you: "Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder." Do you see it? God is busting at the seams to display His glory, power, and might in your life. And He wants to give you the greatest gift of all -- Himself. Yet why do we pass by the wonder of God unaware?

Lent recalls times of wilderness and wandering, from newly freed Hebrew slaves in exile to Jesus' temptation in the desert. God has always called people out of their safe, walled cities into uncomfortable places, revealing paths they would never have chosen. Despite our culture of self-indulgence, we too are called to walk an alternative pathâ€"one of humility, justice, and peace. Walter Brueggemann's thought-provoking reflections for the season of Lent invite us to consider the challenging, beautiful life that comes with walking the way of grace.

Based on the popular spiritual healing program designed by Bob Schuchts and the John Paul II Healing Center, Lenten Healing offers a twist to traditional Lenten fasting: instead of giving up chocolate, give up your sin. This daily Lenten devotional offers a unique approach to fasting, helping you reexamine the psychological and spiritual roots of sin in your life while sharing reflections and prayer exercises for overcoming sinful habits and acquiring virtuous ones. Lent is the ideal time to identify and address "spiritual blind spots"—unacknowledged emotional wounds and false ideas that hinder your prayer life and worship. During each week of Lent, Ken Kniepmann of the John Paul II Healing Center breaks open one of the seven deadly sins (pride, lust, gluttony, sloth, anger, envy, and greed) and its corresponding virtue (humility, chastity, abstinence, diligence, patience, kindness, and liberality). You'll start by learning about the sin and how it manifests itself in daily life and thought patterns. Then you'll move into reflection and prayer exercises that guide you through the process of renouncing that week's sin and resolving to adopt that week's virtue. Fasting, the practice of giving up pleasures or comforts, allows us to grow in holiness by putting our desires to a kind of death. Obvious examples include giving up a habit such as a favorite food, sleeping in, or late-night TV—but what happens when you try to give up your sins while recognizing the deeper reasons you commit them in the first place? By seeing those connections and praying specifically for God's insight, healing, and revelation, you’ll be able to experience God’s mercy and love to a greater capacity. Kniepmann helps you see how the depth of Catholic teaching is connected to your daily life. Sin isn't just an activity; it is a place of the heart (the interior life) and the movement of the heart (toward or away from sin) as related to thoughts, beliefs, and emotions. By the time Easter arrives, you'll possess a deeper understanding of sin and emotional wounds as impediments to intimacy with God and come away with tangible, practical tools for addressing those impediments in your life.

Drawing from diverse sources and the author's own experience as a retreat leader and spiritual companion, Living AWAKE is accessible to all, regardless of faith or background. About the Author Mary Bea Sullivan is a retreat leader, inspirational speaker, and spiritual companion. She lives in Northern Alabama with her husband, Malcolm, and children, Brendan and Kiki. She is also the author of Dancing Naked Under the Moon: Uncovering the Wisdom Within, a spiritual memoir. Praise for Living AWAKE "Mary Bea Sullivan is a wise guide because she--through her own experience--knows that being and becoming human is a craft which requires practice, like playing a musical instrument or learning how to paint. Here the reader will find a series of practices over a classic period of forty days which will heal the soul, refresh the mind and heart, and open up new pathways." --Alan Jones, Dean Emeritus of Grace Cathedral and Honorary Canon of Chartres Cathedral. "Living AWAKE is a treasure chest of insight, wisdom, and practice. This forty-day journey invites the reader to know herself with love, and to then lavish that love on others. In a day and age when a lot of spiritual pablum is in the marketplace, Mary Bea Sullivan serves up real food for body, mind and spirit, food that is like the bread of communion, giving bread so that the reader can offer bread." --Rev. Mary C. Earle, Days of Grace: Meditations and Practices for Living with Illness. "Living AWAKE is a wonderful manual for the spiritual seeker who thinks globally and is not afraid to move beyond the confines of his or her belief system. Using a combination of personal narrative and insights into the sacred traditions of the world's religions, Mary Bea offers practical exercises for everyday people whose hearts ache for something more. She writes as a seasoned mentor well familiar with the territory, inviting the uninitiated to take the first steps towards living awake because it is a journey she herself has taken." --Elizabeth-Anne Stewart, Ph.D, Jesus the Holy Fool "There is a deep hunger today to have a more intimate experience with the Divine. Living AWAKE is a great way to get started or to get back on your journey with the Divine. This meditative guide comes from the deep wisdom of both eastern and western spirituality, yet it is simple and short enough that it can realistically be done in the midst of our busy lives. And if you stick with it for forty days, you will have established a habit that becomes natural to you and you will be living more awake." --Rev. Bob Haden, Director of the Haden Institute
