A window into the heart of a new generation's spiritual longing

How to Lent is a daily devotional that journeys through the ancient season of Lent, from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, with reflections from a new generation of creative voices. Structured around the deep-rooted church calendar, each week unfolds a new movement in the season, while individual entries explore the ache for belonging, beauty found in brokenness and dust and mortality.

These pages are a new generation’s rich tapestry of spiritual insights, poetic renderings and full-hearted perspectives in many different styles and voices, offering readers ways to draw deeper into this ancient season via the trellis of the Lenten themes that have nourished Christians throughout history.

Embark on this transformative journey through Lent and let yourself be guided towards a connection with God through the dark and wild seasons of life. How to Lent welcomes both curious seekers and Christians alike, offering a fresh layer of depth into this ancient and grounding season.

Enchantment is trending again, but so often it takes the shape of a modern invitation to a life that is enchanted or spiritual but not religious. In response, Christianity invites us, as it has done for two millennia already, to become spiritual and religious. But how? This beautiful book of devotional Lenten reflections, mostly by Gen-Z writers, is this sort of invitation both for seekers and for those who have been Christians all their lives. Come to God's table, one and all – and be welcomed, fed and loved abundantly.
Nadya Williams, managing editor at Mere Orthodoxy and author of The Literate Soul

This is a stunning collection of reflections, urging us to hear the voices of a generation. Drawing on the ancient wisdom of the Christian tradition, these fresh, honest and beautifully crafted voices speak to the longings, questions and uncertainties of our contemporary world. How to Lent reminds us that the deepest questions of what it means to be human are not new, and that ancient faith still has something profound to say to our modern lives.
