Ctoc Lent Study : Transformed By The Presence Of Jesus

In this new Lent study guide, Liz Babbs challenges readers to go beyond traditional Bible study. She invites us to adopt a meditative approach to familiar passages and to actually step inside Scripture to encounter Jesus and be transformed by His Presence. Over the course of the Lent period, we step into the shoes of many well-known Bible characters including the disciples on the road to Emmaus, Peter struggling to walk on water, the Samaritan woman at the well, Mary Magdalene at the tomb and Mary and martha, sisters to the deceased Lazarus--all who were transformed by Jesus. With opening icebreakers, suggested prayers, discussion starters, links for audio tracks for further meditation found on Liz' popular website and a selection of her original poems, this guide is ideal both for small group and independent study--and the material requires minimal preparation by group leaders.
