And I’ve found C. S. Lewis’ essay “The World’s Last Night” to be very good Lenten reading.

I've ordered "He Leadeth Me" which should arrive this week. My favorite book is "The Lord" by Guardini - it makes for great Lenten reading because each chapter is short - the book is based on a series of radio talks, iirc. Lots of fascinating insight.<br/>Nancy/n.o.e. Thanks for this list. I’ve ordered “He Leadeth Me” which should arrive this week.

It was close to 30 pages a day. I was so amazed how a fast reading of it fit things together as never before. It pointed me to a richer deeper celebration of what Christ did and a greater joy in celebrating His risen life. It was also a sacrifice to spend that kind of time. Well worth it.

I was raised a non-denominational Protestant, but am planning to convert upon our move to Minneapolis at some point this year. <br/><br/>I too have three children three and under and am pregnant with my fourth. (I ALWAYS seem to be nursing and pregnant during Lent...perhaps one of these years I will be able to fast, hopefully!) How do you teach your children about Lent, and how do you help them observe the penitential season in an age appropriate way? I really have no idea how to relate Lent to them.
