"Glorious"
"As a practicing Catholic, I always make it a habit, every year to pray every day of the Forty Days of Lent. I made this vow over 30 years ago when I purchased "The Office of Readings. " I have never broken my vow to The Lord. However, it is sometimes hard to find meaningful homilies or devotions that fit in with the Lenten season. Sometimes Catholic Book Publishing Companies attempt a Lenten devotion, but when the devotion is purchased, it is only general and falls short of the day-to-day prayers and thoughts of the Early Church Fathers and Saints. It is a good thing that "Restore: A Guided Lenten Journal" has done. The illustrations are simple though computer created. There are scripture verses for every day at the beginning of the homily, although I wish that more space had been given to the scripture verses themselves. The size is not the concern, but the length of the verses are. There should be more quotations from the Bible to encourage us to begin the act of praying and devotion. That being said, the homilies are excellent, and includes a journal at the end of each lesson which I particularly enjoy because writing helps me keep a tab oj who I am becoming spiritually--where I am, and where I need to grow. I would strongly recommend the booklet as it serves as a nice companion to "The Office of Readings" that I use from my devotions. While an edition would need to be purchased every year, I think that if the clergy keeps the format as it is, it will give worshipers a better way of praying, and a feeling that they have grown in their spirituality. ."
"I am very pleased with the prayers and meditations that the Restore Journal provides to assist with journaling my Lenten experience. The weekly companion videos are excellent and Sr. Miriam James Heidland is a true inspiration."
"This is a unique way to experience Lent. Not only does it take one deeper into the teachings of the church but helps develop a more personal approach to one’s relationship with Christ."
"Just a few days in and need much more time to assess. Helping me to focus my efforts for my Lenten journey."
"I started reading it on Ash Wednesday and read the portion of the day daily."
"Just the right resource I need to help me this lent"
"I am just checking it out, it is looking very promising for a good maybe even great Lent!"
"Excellent"
