Small Surrenders: A Lenten Journey

Small Surrenders: A Lenten Journey by Griffin, Emilie. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781557255266.

Lent is a time of letting go and letting ourselves come closer to Jesus. We are converted not only once in our lives but many times, and the conversion is little by little and often imperceptible. But Lent gives us a time to move the process along, intentionally, by a series of small surrenders. When we choose some exercise for Lent–daily worship, daily prayer, abstinence from one thing or another, it is not so much the practice that transforms us, but it is our willingness to change. Join Emilie Griffin in this book of daily meditations for the holy season of Lent. Using ancient and modern texts as inspiration for her own reflections, Emilie Griffin nurtures and guides us into a deeper knowledge of ourselves and God. We discover that Lent is our chance for a fresh start, and an opportunity to joyfully put ourselves in God’s hands.
