40 Days with Jesus

Why must we endure times of waiting?

In the night, we wait for the morning.

In loneliness, toil, or sickness, we wait for relief.

Jesus's forty-day fast was a time of waiting, and in that time, He became vulnerable and needy just like we are. God became a person for a reason, so we can imitate and learn to be like Him - not as clones, but as beloved daughters and sons.

As we fast during Lent, 40 Days with Jesus takes us on a daily imaginative journey through our fasting wilderness of Lent and leads us back home to resurrection life.

40 Days with Jesus is perfect for individual meditations or group discussions. The reflection questions that follow each daily devotional help to link spiritual mysteries to ordinary living.

40 Days with Jesus is the perfect companion for the Lenten fast, for any Christian tradition, and helps a reader better understand personal suffering and the many theodicies in life.

After experiencing the 40 Days with Jesus, a reader will find strength and grow in appreciation for the rewards that follow a season of waiting on God.
