Forty Lenten reflections on forty remarkable people whose character and history is illuminated by scripture.Human character is best described by telling stories about people. The Lent Factor describes forty very different people - one for each day of Lent - who have a special quality about them, and uses their stories to reflect on how faith and character are connected.A theme from each brief story is illuminated by reflection on a scene, passage or word from the Bible. The appropriateness of the use of a cross to mark out the'X'factor within human beings becomes the more pertinent as the journey through Lent approaches Holy Week and Easter. The cast list includes Edith Cavell, Philip Toynbee (father of Polly), U.A. Fanthorpe, Dorothy Sayers, Charles Wesley, Rabbi Hugo Gryn, Julian of Norwich, Kathleen Ferrier, Eva Peron and many others from different backgrounds and diverse periods of history, some famous and some entirely unknown.

The season of Lent is a forty day period, excluding Sundays, leading up to Easter. In the early church, it was a time when believers would rededicate their lives to Christ and new converts would be instructed in matters of the faith. As we observe this sacred season, A Lenten Journey will guide our forty day consecration and draw us closer to God by providing opportunities for reflection, direction, and instruction. With each chapter, we will follow our Lord into the wilderness and watch as He suffers through every attack imaginable. This devotional has been designed with the intent to prepare you for ministry in the hedges and highways. It will cause you to examine yourself and measure your effectiveness. It will also provoke you to change, mature and grow. As you read A Lenten Journey, you will achieve a level of sobriety that will enable you to endure temptation. You will draw closer to God as He avails Himself to you in greater measures. Most importantly, you will learn the power of discipline, devotion, and spiritual preparation.
