A Season for the Spirit

Since it was first published as the Archbishop of Canterbury's Lent Book in 1991, A Season for the Spirit has accompanied many Christians of different traditions on a forty-day pilgrimage of self-discovery as they seek to become closer to God in prayer. These deeply personal meditations focus on themes of compassion, self-knowledge, wholeness and reconciliation of the conflicting forces within us. The book has become a spiritual classic.

Each day's reading consists of a theological reflection, a prayer to the Holy Spirit to bring us deeper into prayer and a suggestion for further meditation: a passage of Scripture, a quotation from Christian literature or a spiritual exercise.
