Uncovering the Love of Jesus: A Lent Devotional by Asheritah Ciuciu
4.0
I’m not an avid celebrator of Lent, but I do enjoy reading through a Lenten devotional in the weeks leading up to Easter. After reading and loving Asheritah Ciuciu’s beautiful Advent devotional two Christmases ago, I knew Uncovering the Love of Jesus would be a great spiritual tone-setter for me this Easter season. Following a brief introduction to the purpose and meaning of Lent, the book is divided into seven one-week sections, with each section including five weekday devotionals, a weekly Sunday Lent celebration (ideal for family devotion time), and suggested family activities.
The theme of this devotional is the love exhibited by Jesus on the cross and at the tomb, and each daily reading zeroes in on a specific aspect of Jesus’ character or relational interactions as seen in Scripture. The devotionals include direct Bible teaching in addition to a prayer and spiritual application practice as we are invited to meditate on Jesus’ beautiful heart and then reflect that heart to those around us. This book is fairly straightforward, with a clear focus on Christ. While I would have enjoyed a little more commentary, I appreciated that Jesus was the star of the devotional.
Though intended for Lent, this devotional could be read any time of year. And if you choose to purchase this book, please invest in the physical copy: with its gorgeous case wrapped cover and glossy pages, it’s a book you will want sitting out on your coffee table every Easter season. This would make a superb gift—maybe for Valentine’s Day, in time to be enjoyed during Lent!
