The
Challenge of the Lenten Season
|
|
Lent constitutes
both a challenge and an embarrassment to Protestantism.
Each year as the season approaches it brings with
it the temptation to equivocate. We do not know
where we stand because our feet seem to be stuck
in both camps.

about observing the most sacred season in the
Christian calendar. Read

and others arising from flawed teaching in the church
-- are exacerbating the problem.
In the foreword, Jerry Bridges says Richard D. Phillips
"gives us an accurate picture of what it means
to be God's man. The reader will come away reassured
