Author Description

Let the music and lyrics of Christian tradition guide you through the forty days of Lent toward the joy of Easter. Inspired by hymns and songs that span generations and cultures, Lord Show Me the Way invites you to grasp the spirit of repentance and conversion this Lent. Learn anew how to set your eyes and heart on reaching the life-saving waters of Baptismal renewal that we will embrace when Easter comes. Each daily devotion offers a reflection on a hymn or song of praise and worship, a short prayer, and a question or insight to ponder throughout the day. Let the Spirit move you along on your journey of faith as you reflect and pray with moving hymns such as "Down to the River to Pray," "Amazing Grace," "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say," "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms," "'Tis Good, Lord, to Be Here," "What Wondrous Love Is This," "Were You There." An audio recording of each song is easily accessed via a QR code at the end of each devotion, and the complete lyrics of each song are printed in the back of the book for easy reference. With sixteen different songs and various renditions of each, there is something for everyone in this distinctive new devotional that will have you meeting Christ in words, in silence, and in songs both familiar and new to you. Rooted in the spirituality and traditions of the Congregation of Holy Cross, the founding community of the University of Notre Dame and Ave Maria Press, this book of devotions is affordably priced for individual and bulk purchases by Catholic parishes, schools, and other institutions.
