This is a guide to a 40-day journey to resurrection.<\/p>\n<p>Lent? What is Lent? Is it that stuff you dig out of the depths of your pants pocket or your belly button? (No. That\u2019s lint by the way). Maybe you think Lent is something only other churches do.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you\u2019re not familiar with Lent, you can probably agree that Easter is essential to the life of the followers of Jesus. It\u2019s the time of year when we are intentional about retelling and rehearing the story of Jesus\u2019 death and resurrection.<\/p>\n<p>Because Christ invites His followers to not just hear about the resurrection, but to participate in it, Christians have historically taken the 40 days leading up to Easter to prepare their hearts and minds to enter the story of Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>This little book is a guide\u2026a help\u2026a companion on the 40-day journey of prayer and Christian practice known as Lent. On this journey, you\u2019ll practice the disciplines of addition, subtraction, and introspection so that you may more fully participate in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n<p>This is Lent. And we take this journey because we all need resurrection.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/theyouthcartel.com\/products\/lent\/\">Pre-order<\/a> this book Today!
