A Clearing Season: Reflections for Lent

by Sarah Parsons

Book Overview

Cities across the world celebrate Mardi Gras with colorful parades and over-the-top parties. Then Ash Wednesday arrives ... Sigh. Lent has begun.

You hear about devout friends giving up seemingly innocent things like chocolate or stressing out as they try to live a more perfect life during six grueling weeks-for reasons you don't completely understand. Sermons about penitence are preached, and guilt soaks the congregation.

Customer Reviews

Calm deep effective guide to Lent

This is an outstanding book on "clearing out" one's life and soul during Lent--I have used it for several years and recommend it highly for the simplicity and depth of the process and reflections. I hope this author continues to write many more books!
