This is first and foremost a pastoral Lent book, based on an explorationof the Psalms. Over 15 chapters the following Psalms and corresponding themes are explored: 51 (Preparation, Repentance, Reflection, and Sin); 91 (Reliance); 102 (Lament); 32 (Sanctification); 34 (Abundance); 23 (Service); 118 (Power); 103 (Fear); 16 (Doubt); 55 (Betrayal); 116 (Companionship); 22 (Faith and Hope); 130 (Watching and waiting); 85 (Redemption through love). Each chapter is built around one of the above psalms, the day’s Gospel according to the Church of England’s lectionary, and concludes with the Church of England’s daily collect. Beyond the first chapter, it aims to offer readers a reflection on the psalm and reading, some discussion around a theme, thematic prayers, and further questions. These further questions can be used as the basis of a Lent discussion group or for individual study and consideration.

"In this Lenten companion, Charlie takes us through our human frailties, questions, challenges, and joys through the lens of Psalter. With searing hope he offers us a reflective tool kit to enter the journey to the cross with renewed purpose. Of all the seasons in the church year, Lent perhaps is the one that offers the most to a world hungry for God with little sense of how to connect. The poetry of the Psalms, with praise and lament provides such a vehicle. Charlie shows us how these most ancient of words and songs resonate with the rawness of our humanity in the present. The reflections in this book offer a firm nudge to those who might need it, and a purposeful comfort where that is most felt. You cannot read this book and not pause to reflect. You cannot reach it’s end without exploring afresh what it is to truly be a disciple of Jesus. I suspect this book will become more than a Lenten pilgrimage. May it be a prophetic cry to our church and world today."
