In a world that celebrates indulging our whims whenever we want, practicing the traditions of Lent is counter cultural. When we welcome the temporary suffering of Lent, we swim upstream in a culture that goes with the flow. The practice isn’t about proving our worth or earning God’s love; it’s about remembering how dependent we are on our Maker while we live here in our temporary, fragile bodies. Bestselling Author Tsh Oxenreider takes readers through Lent leading up to Easter. Featuring 7 Weeks of Daily Readings, time-tested practices, ancient wisdom, and the Grace of Christ overflowing.

Edward ★★★★★

This book's focus on the counter-cultural act of embracing Lent's temporary suffering really made me pause and reflect. The short daily readings fit perfectly into my morning coffee routine, offering a quiet moment of depth.

Richard A. ★★★★★

I was looking for something that reframes Lent in a hopeful way, and the writing here feels fresh and honest—it didn't come off as preachy at all. The "counter cultural" perspective mentioned in the description really resonated with me. My only small critique is that I wish it had a few more guided

Eva C. ★★★★★

The way this book frames Lent as a countercultural practice really made me think—it’s not just another devotional, but a thoughtful look at embracing temporary hardship. I’ve already recommended it to a friend who was struggling with the concept of giving something up.
