Publisher's Synopsis
Repentance is unavoidably a part of Lent. The church calls us each year to observe a season of fasting and introspection in advance of Holy Week. It's a call to turn from our sins and accept Christ's forgiveness and grace.However, we often view the Lenten fast as a mindless ritual or as a program for self-improvement. Priest and scholar Davis McCartney introduces the Lenten season in this brief book, demonstrating how its prayers and customs point us beyond our own sinfulness to our merciful Savior.Every book in the Fullness of Time series encourages readers to explore the customs, scriptures, prayers, and rituals associated with the various church calendar seasons.
