Ereni –
I loved how simply this book delivered such intense theological truths that our church teaches us. I admit that prior to reading this book and upon entering Lent 2019, I was feeling monotonous and separated from the entire experience that Lent promises.
This book takes you through each of the gospel readings of Lent, with Fr Kamel discussing briefly yet adequately three main components: what the gospel reading of the day actually means, what this means to me and how this applies to me in the context of my church community.
Fr Kamal really helped to personalize my Lenten journey, given the fact that prior to reading I felt like I was going through the motions out of habit, rather than engaging with our churches unique and beautiful traditions.
