Devotions for Lent (Ebook Shorts): Meditations Based on Best-Loved Hymns Details
The lyrics of our favorite hymns are rich in images that can help us in our daily walk with God--they are miniature Bible studies that lead us effortlessly toward worship, testimony, exhortation, prayer, and praise. They're bursts of devotional richness with rhyme and rhythm. They clear our minds, soothe our nerves, verbalize our worship, summarize our faith, and sing our great Redeemer's praise. Bestselling author Robert J. Morgan has gathered favorite hymns, as well as classic, lesser-known gems to guide your quiet time with God during Lent.Each devotional begins with Scripture, includes a story about the hymn or its writer and the lyrics to the hymn, and ends with a prayer. An index of hymn titles and first lines is included. What better way to end your devotional reading than with a song in your heart?
Reviews
This is an excellent Lenten devotional for Christians who appreciate some of the classic hymns of the faith. It is not written specifically for any denomination. Each devotion is short and to the point, I would assume to be approximately one page each. The reading for each day tells a little about the hymn writer or composer whose hymn appears for that day.The words to each hymn (not every verse, but most verses) can be used to meditate on about Jesus and His suffering and death on the cross for my sins. To me, it was wonderful to read or sing silently or quietly. Not all were ones that I am familiar with, but the words to each hymn, whether I knew it or not, had special meaning during this time.I highly recommend this Devotional for those who love some of the great hymns of the faith that could be associated with Lent and to anyone who has appreciated any of the other hymn books or devotionals by Robert Morgan.
