Explore the freeing, life-changing nature of forgiveness…

As we move from Ash Wednesday to Easter Day, daily reflections and prayers help us to experience the living power of the cross of Christ through biblical and modern-day stories of wrongdoing and forgiveness. Our journey through Lent will deepen our response to God’s love and, as we allow the Holy Spirit to do his work, we will see spiritual transformation in our lives today.

Excellent Scripture-based Devotional!

Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2019

Verified Purchase

I love Amy Boucher Pye’s writing! This is my 2nd year reading through The Living Cross, an excellent journey through God’s Word examining forgiveness. Make this one of your yearly devotional choices, as we all need to clean out our hearts in preparation for the blessing of Easter celebration. (Hoping publishers will restock in book form in the States...can only find it in Kindle form now...so wanted to purchase as a gift!)

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2017

I loved the format the author used to allow for daily meditations throughout Lent. There is a short passage of scripture included followed by an insightful meditation tying the scripture into the overall theme of forgiveness, a modern day analogy if appropriate and a prayer at the end. It is short enough to fit into anyone's day but deep enough to carry something away. I sometimes read them in the morning, other times right before bed, but every time there was a nugget on which to chew and ponder. At the end of every week there is a special section on "spiritual exercises and questions for individual reflection and group discussion" which as it says gives practical hands on demonstrations of spiritual principles, thoughts for application of the spiritual issues discussed and questions to draw even more depth out of the experience. Weekly activities use diverse learning styles to enhance the meditations. For Holy week there is a detailed outline of Christ's actions each day summarized for purposes of allowing the reader to mediate on the actions each day easily. Everything is well annotated with references in the back of the book. In her "For further reading" section in the back of the book the author takes the time to provide suggestions to further explore the topic of forgiveness from various points of view. Frankly, you don't have to wait until Lent to benefit as you would be blessed just reading it daily now! Very well written and theologically sound. Next Lent I need to read it again and do it with a group for even more insights as we ponder the passages together.

Fab devotional on forgiveness

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2017

This Lent devotional follows the theme of forgiveness throughout scripture, so although it is perfect for Lent, it could also be used throughout the year as a thematic devotional. Amy Boucher Pye is a hugely popular devotional writer for good reason – her writing always includes interesting stories and facts, faithful exposition of scripture, and creativity in prayer.

I found it interesting to realise that the Old Testament places the emphasis firmly on God’s forgiveness of us rather than forgiving one another, and her book similarly follows this emphasis. Gentle and helpful, it’s perfect for anyone wanting reassurance of God’s transformative forgiveness. Highly recommended for lovers of devotionals.

Perfect For Lent

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

The Living Cross by Amy Boucher Pye has been a marvellous read for Lent. A chapter a day which starts with a Biblical passage and ends with a prayer. Amy Boucher Pye's thoughts are sandwiched in between.
Amy Boucher Pye writes from experience. Her observations are insightful. She has a huge heart for God and for people.
At the end of each week are exercises designed for self reflection and to draw the reader closer to the heart of God.
The Living Cross has been just perfect to read and reflect on. I am now filing it away on my bookshelf ready to read again next year.

I love Amy's clear and honest writing. I'm making my way through the short, easily read chapters this Lent linking in stories of forgiveness from the Bible adding her own thoughts and memories. I love the prayers at the end. Thank you Amy.
