Less is More

A Lenten Guide for Personal Renewal

by Kai Nilsen

Avail­able in 2020 as a free e‑book (PDF). Down­load today.

Each week dur­ing Lent, this devo­tion­al helps you explore one of the clas­sic spir­i­tu­al dis­ci­plines. Our hope is that this dai­ly immer­sion in the Life with God through these dis­ci­plines becomes a life-giv­ing habit that extends well beyond this sea­son of Lent.
