Place of Belonging

A Lent course that will help readers find spiritual solace in their lives and a sense of belonging in various aspects of their lives A Lent course that will help readers find spiritual solace in their lives and a sense of belonging in various aspects of their livesSuitable for both individual and group study at Lent Where do you feel most at home?Where do you belong?How can it help me to live in strength and with hope?A Place of Belonging connects the spiritual focus of Lent with a physical sense of place, as described at various points in the Bible. Lavinia Byrne helps us to consider these places, to slow down and imagine ourselves inhabiting them, to reflect and draw wisdom that may inform how we respond to the world around us today.Over nine chapters each concluding with a prayer, reflective questions and action points we journey to biblical gardens, mountain-tops, city walls and the inside of the whale, to the side of a well and the fiery furnace, to sea, and to space and the heavens above. Not all of these places are necessarily where we would want to dwell, but as humans some of our most important growth comes to us in the dark as well as the light.
