With Lent only a few weeks away, I know that many of you are looking for apps, scripture plans and devotionals to guide your journey. Obviously there are hundreds out there. Written, online, downloadable; you choose. I have tried to provide a few from a variety of theological perspectives. If there are others you think should be on the list, please let me know. And by the way, the photo is of a 500 year old Bible – seemed appropriate for the season especially (at least to me) that though the method we use to study may change, the message is timeless.
