Author James D. Findlay identifies Lent as a time of growth and writes that one of the best ways to grow closer to God during Lent is to “prayerfully ponder the Bible’s sacred words.” He urges readers to embrace the opportunity to slow down that Lent provides and helps them do that amidst the busyness of life in sections titled: Select a text, Begin on Ash Wednesday, Lent – and faith – requires perseverance, and Learn to read Scripture in new ways.
