Above All by Elizabeth Foss

Description

Above All is a Lenten devotional journal from Take Up and Read that includes daily Scripture passages (set in context with enlightening historical notes to deepen your understanding), as well as devotional essays, room to journal, and space to organize your time. There is a simple prompt for the ancient prayer form of Lectio Divina each day, as well as a separate page for the fifth stage, Actio, where the reader is encouraged to examine her conscience and offer forgiveness to herself and to others. Seven beautiful calligraphy pages aid in memorizing Colossians 3:12-17 over the course of Lent, and lovely illustrations are found throughout the book. The entire study–both words and images–is carefully crafted so that women can share it with the men in their lives, too. Readers who enjoyed “Put on Love” last year will find similar themes and several familiar essays in this revised and much-expanded edition. Classic essays are nestled among new and expanded design and brand new content, including ten additional essays from Take Up & Read authors. Profits from the sale of this book will be donated to Adore Ministries in Houston, Texas for ongoing hurricane relief.
