SynopsisFrom the bestselling author of LOW: An Honest Advent Devotional comes a new devotional for Lent and Easter considering the ways we are called to rise from the depths in our spiritual journey., In this new Lenten devotional, popular progressive Christian author John Pavlovitz (LOW: An Honest Advent Devotional) once again takes us on a transformative spiritual journey. Like the human experience, the spiritual journey is not a level path. It is about the falling and the rising. We allow our hopes to rise when we are in the middle of the struggle. We wait for the sun to rise, knowing that joy comes in the morning. We rise to our feet after falling to our knees in desperate prayer. We rise when we are knocked from our feet, persistent in this. We rise to meet the coming day, knowing we are held by a Love that will have the last word. RISE is a 40-day journey of elevated hopes and ascending spirits. Each entry includes scripture, a reflection, and a prayer.
The author's insight to issues of today were valuable to me. I held back a 5-star due to the non-correlation to typical Lent, e.g., no Ash Wednesday denotation and more than 40 days of readings.
RISE arrived in a thin brown cardboard envelope/ package. I was expecting a larger book. As with all books,
they can't be judged by their covers or in this case, its size.
RISE gives a practical lesson for each day of Lent based on
a passage of Scripture. They are reminders to wait, pray, and hope through Lent and days beyond.
I have been looking for a Christian Lenten devotional not focused on fire, Hell, and brimstone. This is written from a Christian perspective with daily offerings that prompt reflection on sacrifice and giving to live a simple, purposeful Lent.
