The Liturgical Home: Lent by Ashley Tumlin Wallace 

This new book is a Lenten resource from The Liturgical Home Series from Anglican Compass. It is an introduction and invitation to the practice of a Holy Lent for families from the Anglican tradition. It includes An Introduction to the Season, Ways to Observe Lent in Your Home, The Meaning Behind Our Rich Lenten Traditions, Lenten Devotions For Your Family, & Traditional Recipes from Around the World.

Bitter & Sweet: A Journey Into Easter by Tsh Oxenreider 

In a world that celebrates indulging our whims whenever we want, practicing the traditions of Lent is countercultural. When we welcome the temporary suffering of Lent, we swim upstream in a culture that goes with the flow.

The practice isn’t about proving our worth or earning God’s love; it’s about remembering how dependent we are on our Maker while we live here in our temporary, fragile bodies.

A lovely and simple resource for families to find simple ways to create meaning for the Lent season. Intended to encourage and interactively share Lent with simplicity, families will find dozens of fun and easy practices for celebrating the Easter season with our kids. How do you share the deep mysteries of Lent, Easter, and Resurrection with children? The practices and seasonal prayers are grouped into chapters titled Ash Wednesday, Symbols, Lenten Prayers, Lenten Refraining, Lenten Acts of Service, Holy Week, Easter Vigil and Easter Day, and the Season of Resurrection.

LENT 2024: TRUE FASTING from ACNA’s Matthew 25 Initiative

At the Matthew 25 Initiative, our desire is to see the unseen and the marginalized treasured.

And this Lenten season, we will be telling the stories of the least of these through 40 days of Anglican-informed, inspiring, beautiful, and theologically robust engagement pieces — in the vein of the church's traditional disciplines of Lent:  prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.

For our third year of Lent, we once again invite you to join us on a journey of normalizing Anglican justice and mercy by thoughtfully engaging in this historic Christian season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving – this time, through the lens of Isaiah 58:6-12.

Word in the Wilderness: A poem a day for Lent and Easter 

For every day from Shrove Tuesday to Easter Day, poet Malcolm Guite chooses a favorite poem from across the Christian spiritual and English literary traditions and offers incisive reflections on it. An Anglican priest, scholar of poetry, and a renowned poet himself, his knowledge is deep and wide and he offers readers a soul-food feast for Lent.

Each day begins with a short passage of Scripture, included in the text, and a reflection from one of Nouwen’s works.

A closing prayer related to the topic and often drawn directly from or patterned after a verse of verses of Scripture concludes each reading.

The readings are short but great for prompting a thought or action.
