40 Women Lent this year begins on Wednesday 2nd of March and covers the 40 day period (excluding Sundays) leading up to Easter. This year we are going to take the 40 day journey exploring the lives of 40 significant but perhaps often overlooked women. Each day on Beside The Burn we will read a bible passage about one of the women and consider their part in the Easter Story. The 40 women can be found in the book “40 Women - Unseen Women of the Bible from Eden to Easter” by Ros Clarke. Like our journey at Advent it isn’t essential to have the book but you will probably find it a helpful addition. You can order “40 Women” at any good bookshop or online. It is available as a download on Kindle - £5.69 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/ From Amazon in Paperback -£7.75 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/ From 10 of Those in Paperback - £8.49 - https://www.10ofthose.com/ If you would like me to order you a copy which you can pick up in Burnside please email me or tell me on Sunday or leave a comment on the blog. (Cost £8 for ease of calculations) You can read the first 3 chapters at either of the Amazon links above. |
