    About this ebook

    Sometimes a pause is good for the soul. It gives us the chance to regroup, reflect, and refocus on God.

    In Pauses for Lent, Trevor Hudson offers a beautifully minimalist book in which he focuses on one word for each day of Lent. You are invited to pause, focus on the word, read a scripture and a brief meditation related to the word, and then offer a prayer.

    Pausing in this way will help you carve out time for God and refresh your spirit even in the midst of a busy life. You may find yourself sensing God's presence in a new way and discovering that God wants to meet you in the midst of your life as it is, muddles and all.

    Trevor Hudson

    Trevor Hudson has been in the Methodist ministry for the past thirty odd years, spending most of this time in and around Johannesburg, South Africa. Presently he is part of the pastoral team at Northfield Methodist Church in Benoni where he preaches and teaches on a weekly basis. He has written nine books, including A Mile in My Shoes and Listening to the Groans, which have recently been published in the U.S. Much of his ministry has been shaped by two passions: helping ordinary people experience the transforming presence and power of Jesus in their everyday lives and helping people build the kind of local faith community which seeks to take seriously the suffering of those around them. His interests include watching sports, walking and running, discovering new places, reading and writing.

      This is an excellent little book for the lenten season. Being that this is my first time observing Lent, it was a very simple, easy introduction to the heart of it all. Highly recommend, especially for those who find it difficult to make time for devotionals. This is short and sweet, yet it demands a moment of meditation to break away from the ordinary and put our thoughts back onto the Lord.
