A window into the heart of a new generation's spiritual longing

How to Lent is a daily devotional that journeys through the ancient season of Lent, from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday, with reflections from a new generation of creative voices. Structured around the deep-rooted church calendar, each week unfolds a new movement in the season, while individual entries explore the ache for belonging, beauty found in brokenness and dust and mortality.

Praise for How To Lent

Enchantment is trending again, but so often it takes the shape of a modern invitation to a life that is enchanted or spiritual but not religious. In response, Christianity invites us, as it has done for two millennia already, to become spiritual and religious. But how? This beautiful book of devotional Lenten reflections, mostly by Gen-Z writers, is this sort of invitation both for seekers and for those who have been Christians all their lives. Come to God's table, one and all – and be welcomed, fed and loved abundantly.

Nadya Williams, managing editor at Mere Orthodoxy and author of The Literate Soul

This 40-day devotional will be a salve for those burned out by the division, distraction and doomscrolling of our present age. This is a book for anyone searching for genuine connection again. Following the wisdom of ancient rhythms and scripture, it provides a path through death towards life. Highly recommended.

Justin Brierley, podcast host and author of The Surprising Rebirth of Belief in God

‘Lent is a precious time in the Christian year. This set of readings offers a rich, personal, varied and sensitive guide to the kind of self-reflection in the light of God’s grace that is so needed in our time.

Graham Tomlin, editor-in-chief of SeenandUnseen.com and former Bishop of Kensington, London

‘How to Lent is a timely invitation to deep reflection and renewal. Wise, gentle and practical, this inspiring collection will draw you into an intimacy with Jesus that will last far beyond Easter.

Al Gordon, rector of SAINT, founder of Renaissance and author of Spark: Ignite Your God-Given Creativity

This is a stunning collection of reflections, urging us to hear the voices of a generation. Drawing on the ancient wisdom of the Christian tradition, these fresh, honest and beautifully crafted voices speak to the longings, questions and uncertainties of our contemporary world. How to Lent reminds us that the deepest questions of what it means to be human are not new, and that ancient faith still has something profound to say to our modern lives.
