My BRF Lent book is a journey from Ash Wednesday to Easter Day as we engage with daily reflections and prayers to experience the living power of the cross of Christ through biblical and modern-day stories of wrongdoing and forgiveness. Some wonderful commendations:
These 47 reflections … bring home the message of hope and of a forgiving God who so loved the world that he was generous and gave himself to us in the person of Jesus Christ… Rt Revd Richard Chartres, Bishop of London, from the foreword
This is quite the best of all the Lent books I’ve ever read. I just loved the way Amy takes us through the Bible, revealing God’s forgiving heart and His burning desire that we should forgive one another. Jennifer Rees Larcombe
Reading this book was, for me, as if Amy had taken a highlighter pen to the Bible and skilfully brought colour and clarification to so many passages where forgiveness and hope are found. Every page is like another journey into the grace of God. Also, the prayers and creative responses are so helpful for both individuals and small groups – this really is a wonderful resource for the Lent season and beyond. Cathy Madavan, Digging for Diamonds
Few topics are more central to the Christian life – and life in general – than forgiveness. In this Lenten guide, Amy Boucher Pye traces the forgiveness theme through the length and breadth of scripture, finding it in both expected and surprising places. Combining deep insight and practical exercises, The Living Cross will help you live free from offences both committed and suffered. Sheridan Voysey, Resurrection Year
A Lenten journey you won’t want to miss. From the Fall to the Cross and beyond, Amy Boucher Pye walks us down the centuries to meet the One she calls the “Father of outstretched arms.” With captivating writing and inspiring biblical insight, we are reassured from the stories of fallen heroes, fallible leaders and plain ordinary sinners that God’s lavish forgiveness is available to each one of us. The more I read the more excited I became, and the more thankful I am for God’s “scandalous grace and love poured out.” Simply superb. I can’t wait to read it again!
