Some Christians prepare for Easter by celebrating Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday (February 22, 2012.) This year, we would like to suggest a book for you to read: Jesus, Keep Me Near The Cross edited by Nancy Guthrie. There is no better way to prepare for Easter (April 8) than to remind ourself of the passion and power of the foundation of the Gospel; and this little book will assist you in doing just that. Since the chapters are short, we recommend that you try reading one chapter a day, beginning on Ash Wednesday. Right now the book is 50% off at the Westminster book store. You can also order it through Amazon (a Kindle version is not available). There will also be a few copies that can be purchased in the church foyer.
