Description
With daily Bible readings, prayers and meditations to accompany the stories told, this warm, engaging book helps us to become more aware of the quiet ways in which - with incalculable effect- the Holy Spirit brings hope and healing to our lives.
Leaning towards Easter is full of true stories from ‘ordinary’ people. Some are funny, some poetic, all honest. Few have happy-ever-after endings but each tells of small, plain realities - perhaps mourning is shot through with a brief shaft of light, or there is a gentle word of encouragement in a tumultuous moment.
The word ‘Lent’ comes form the Old English for ‘springtime’ but to Chris Leonard it also suggests leaning: leaning on God as we lean towards the reality of the far-from-easy hope that Easter brings. For while we celebrate the new life ushered in by Christ’s death and resurrection, darkness remains in our world and in our lives. We need to depend constantly on God to renew our hope, our faith and our love as we experience the many challenges of everyday living.
