#WorldBookDay is happening on the second day of #Lent, and melds nicely with publishers’ (and archbishops’) seasonal Lent books.

Bishop #ErikVarden of #Trondheim is a great spiritual writer in the Trappist tradition. His 2025 #LentBook is my immediate task, then I have his 2023 book on Chastity.

Found myself with some free time and decided to pick something from @danielgmcc.bsky.social reading pile. 📕 An amazing read on hope and global Christianity. Looking forward to finishing it. #lentbook

Lent begins next week. There’s still time to order a #lentbook

Book cover: Title: Searched Me Out and Known Me Subtitle: Journeying Lent with the Psalms Author: CHARLIE BELL Background image shows a very small person standing on billowing clouds against a backdrop of stars in the night sky.

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

#DLTBooks are delighted to publish NOT the Archbishop of Canterbury’s #LentBook: Charlie Bell’s “Searched Me Out and Known Me: Journeying Lent with the Psalms” — highly commended by @helenannhartley.bsky.social, Bishop of Newcastle.
