These beautiful, thoughtful prayer books are just the thing for any woman looking to pray more this Lent.

Lent is fast approaching, and we’re anticipating a time of growing closer to God. It’s the perfect time to order a Lent devotional that will guide you through the season.

Marking the feasts and fasts of the Church year helps keep our eyes fixed on God’s eternal reality during our earthly trials. 

Lent is defined by three pillars of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. This season is set aside in the Church calendar for repentance and reconciliation with God. 

That makes it the perfect season to add a daily devotion or time of prayer. These devotionals are just the thing for anyone looking to pray more this Lent.
