'A welcome return and repackaging of a book that was used
successfully by many churches as a Lent Course a few years ago ...
There is a very practical and detailed introduction designed to
guide the course leader and, as someone who worked through it with
a small group, ... I can recommend it with confidence.'
*Tim Hurren*
'The content is easily understandable, clearly laid out, and would
be a wise study for anyone looking to explore the heart of the
Beautitudes ... Each session is mapped out time-wise, making this a
good choice for potentially new groups with first-time leaders
looking for a bit of structure and guidance.'
'This is an excellent resource, creative and thoughtful, a useful
source of prayers, quotes and ideas. I expect it to work well with
small groups looking for a challenge and hope to try it with my own
homegroup during Lent.'
*April McIntyre*
"Spread over five sessions, each includes helpful preparation, an
easy-to-follow-plan, and concludes with striking prayers...This
impressive course is multi-media, setting out various learning
strategies, encouraging the use of music, inspiring objects,
images, literature and films."
*Church Times*
