Screenshot from the book excerpt:
‘In this Lenten companion, Charlie takes us through our human frailties, questions, challenges, and joys through the lens of the Psalter.With searing hope he offers us a reflective tool kit to enter the journey to the cross with renewed purpose.Of all the seasons in the church year,Lent perhaps is the one that offers the most to a world hungry for God with little sense of how to connect.The poetry of the Psalms, with praise and lament, provides such a vehicle. Charlie shows us how these most ancient of words and songs resonate with the rawness of our humanity in the present.The reflections in this book offer a firm nudge to those who might need it, and a purposeful comfort where that is most felt.You cannot read this book and not pause to reflect.You cannot reach its end without exploring afresh what it is to truly be a disciple of Jesus. I suspect this book will become more than a Lenten pilgrimage. May it be a prophetic cry to our church and world today.’
Rt Revd Dr Helen-Ann Hartley, Bishop of Newcastle
