Clergy Book Recommendations for Lent
The Rev. Andrew J. Archie
Thy Will be Done by Stephen Cherry
This book sets out to take a close look at the “capacious heart” of the Lord’s Prayer. Christianity is a tradition of traditions, and Cherry draws on the insights of those who have prayed the prayer through the centuries to live its challenge and learn its guidance. Cherry explores Jesus’s spirituality through the prayer that he taught his followers.

The Rev. Peter Speropulos
This Lent, as we journey with Jesus through the wilderness and ultimately to Calvary’s cross, I am rereading Fleming Rutledge’s The Seven Last Words from the Cross. This is a book of seven reflections on each of Jesus’s last words spoken as he accomplished our salvation by his work on the cross. It has been said that Rutledge has lived a life determined by the cross making her an excellent guide on our journey to the cross.

The Rev. Thomas Albinson
Into the Silent Land by Martin Laird
My personal prayer time recently has involved a lot of silence. In that silence, the distractions have started to bubble up so this Lent I am going to reread Into the Silent Land. Author Martin Laird takes you through the practice and practicalities of Contemplation and guides you through the struggles as you deepen your relationship with Christ.
