Two Books for Lent

‘Swamy reminds us constantly that true reconciliation is a journey into otherness’ JUSTIN WELBY

Global in scope, but homing in on the role ordinary people play in conflict and division, Reconciliation enables Christians to engage confidently in a ministry bequeathed to us by Christ himself. 

The book issues a vibrant call to the church to support and strengthen relationships amongst church members; to cross borders to build connections with different denominations, and to maintain open attitudes towards our neighbours from other religions and ideologies. 

Forty biblically-based meditations introduce topics such as Impediments to reconciliation, risking the self, humility and self-criticism, radical openness to the other andpeace with justice. Questions for reflection are included, making Reconciliation suitable for use at weekly gatherings or for everyday devotion during Lent.

‘A thoroughly biblical guide to reconciliation – its passions and problems, its complexity and utter cruciality. Dr Swamy offers new angles on old stories, prophetic messages, and a gospel wisdom on becoming people of peace.’
PROFESSOR DAVID F. FORD, University of Cambridge

St Augustine’s insight was that it is only the merciful humility of God that could penetrate our armoured pride. As we follow this book through Lent and through the Biblical narrative what begins to emerge is that God’s merciful humility is the source of life. The chapters of Jane Williams’s book include: ‘Humble Beginnings’; ‘How to win friends and influence nobody’; ‘Reigning from a tree’ and ‘Risen and ascended into humility’. Her reflective Lent book will be a trusted guide for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of God’s humility during this religious period.
