A Book for Lent
The Lent Factor: Forty Companions for the Forty Days
of Lent
The book written by Bishop Graham) describes forty very different
people - one for each day of Lent - who have a special quality
about them, and uses their stories to reflect on how faith and
character are connected. Please obtain your own copy of the
book.
Bishop Graham says, "The book features forty companions for
each of the forty days of Lent, all of whom are people (some long
dead) who have influenced me and helped to shape my Christian
discipleship. Each chapter begins with a Bible passage and then
some biographical detail depicting a characteristic of Christian
discipleship which has made its impact on me."
There will be a meeting led by the Revd Jane Nursey (697058) at
34 Allwood Avenue, Dereham on Wednesday 25th March at
7.30pm to discuss thoughts and reflections about the book.
