What is the point of Lent? If prayer and reading and self-denial are worth doing at this time of year, perhaps we should be doing them all the year round! Christianity is not a blueprint for repression but for joy: for a life of fulfilment beyond our wildest dreams. Jesus said I have come that you may have life and have it to the full . In short chapters suitable for individual reading or group study, and questions for meditation and reflection, Sheila Cassidy considers the word LENT as an acronym for what it really means to live as a Christian today: L is for LOVE E is for EMPATHY N is quite simply for NO! T is for THANK YOU GOD
