What version should I buy?

My 1989 version is pictured here, but there are several others, more recent, as you'll see. Mine has the subtitle "Anchoring to the Power of the Cross," (which is why I chose it, actually), but the other has "Living in the Power of the Cross" as a subheading and should be just as good! It will be fun to hear some of the differences! So purchase the one that suits your fancy!
Oh! And I made "everyone" (the original gals) an author, so you can write your own post, not just comment on others. Let's see how that goes!

Lenten Study

Lent begins in just one month. Ash Wednesday is February 17th. Some mistakenly believe that Lent is only for our Catholic friends. I didn't grow up with Lent, nor raise my kids with the observation of it, but the Lenten Season has become increasingly important to me over the years. I do love Easter, but arriving at it without spending some time in preparation and anticipation, focusing on the cross, having an awareness of Christ's sacrifice on my behalf and even making some small-scale sacrifices of my own helps me to arrive at the celebrations of Palm Sunday and through Holy Week on to Easter (Resurrection Sunday) with an increased capacity to honor Christ Jesus.

Max Lucado is, I think, one of the greatest writers of our time. He writes in a way that just about everybody can relate to. He brings biblical stories and truths to life! Gary and I frequently choose a Lucado book to read aloud together. This practice is really unifying and I highly recommend it! This book, Six Hours One Friday, holds, I'm certain, some treasures and revelations that will benefit us all, wherever we are (both in the world physically and on our journey spiritually). I hope you'll join me for this study and look deep within for the Spirit of God stirring within your spirit.
