How would you spend your last week on earth? What would you do if your best friend had one week to live? Take a walk with Jesus and his disciples through the holiest of weeks. Move through the valleys of wrath, betrayal, abandonment, and death. Climb the peaks of a triumphal parade, a sacrificial anointing, and an empty tomb. Experience Jesus humanity and deity as you never have before. The eight days from Palm Sunday to Easter have been unequaled in importance in all of human history. 8 Days of Glory combines biblical scripture, historical context, theological analysis, spiritual insight, and pastoral warmth as Dr. Les Woodson explores the significant meaning of each day. Do not miss this spiritual journey, either individually, in small groups or in Sunday school. Ken M. Howard, Lay Leader at Memorial United Methodist Church in Elizabethtown, Kentucky

The bestselling author of A Wrinkle in Time contemplates the true meaning of faith in the third installment of her series of memoirs. Upon her death, the New York Times hailed Madeleine L’Engle as “an author whose childhood fables, religious meditations and fanciful science fiction transcended both genre and generation.” L’Engle has long captivated and provoked readers by exploring the intersection of science and religion in her work. In this intimate memoir, the award-winning author uncovers how her spiritual convictions inform and enrich the everyday. The Irrational Season follows the liturgical year from one Advent to the next, with L’Engle reflecting on the changing seasons in her own life as a writer, wife, mother, and global citizen. Unafraid to discuss controversial topics and address challenging questions, L’Engle writes from the heart in this compelling chronicle of her spiritual quest to renew and refresh her faith in an ever-changing world and her ever-changing personhood. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Madeleine L’Engle including rare images from the author’s estate.

This book teaches you how to train yourself in godliness through the implementation of six disciplines—Bible study, prayer, fasting, healthy living, financial stewardship, and serving others. By exercising your spiritual core on a daily basis, you will learn to: Study the Bible and understand what God is saying to you. Pray with power. Incorporate periodic fasting into your life. Honor God with your body through nutritious eating and exercise. Practice good stewardship of the resources God has given you. Serve others in humility as an outward demonstration of God’s love. As you learn to submit to God in each of these areas of your life, you’ll discover the joy that accompanies self-discipline. Your daily steps of obedience will translate into giant strides in your walk with the Lord.

During Lent, the Church invites us to reflect on those times that we have turned away from God and consider how we can return to him in all we say and do. Living Your Baptism in Lent: Weekly Reflections for Your Journey helps readers respond to this invitation by reflecting on their relationship with God. Through the grace of our Baptism, we have become sons and daughters of God. As such, we are strengthened by the Holy Spirit to reject sin and choose instead to follow God. Each week, readers consider this choice as they reflect on the questions asked before Baptism. These questions, or baptismal promises, shape our understanding of what it means to live a Christian life. They call us to become witnesses of our faith to others, especially to those who are preparing to be baptized at the Easter Vigil. Our Lenten journey leads us to the celebration of Easter, where we renew our baptismal promises and rejoice in the salvation gained for us by Christ’s Resurrection. Each week’s reflection ends with questions and Scripture passages to use in individual prayer. A guide for leading small groups in these reflections is also included.
