Klappentext

A six-week Lenten journey from Ash Wednesday to Easter that invites ordinary Christians to become "fishers of people" through Scripture, daily reflection, and the everyday work of discipleship. Deep Waters follows the rhythm of Lent through a single, sustaining image: the fishing life of Jesus' first disciples. Across six weeks, from the call to leave our nets to the overflowing catch of Easter morning, each day offers a Scripture reading, a substantial reflection, questions for reflection, a written prayer, and "Going Deeper" activities for those who want to take the next step. The study moves intentionally from formation to mission, showing that sharing faith flows naturally from a transformed heart rather than from mastered technique. Along the way it draws in the often-overlooked voices of Scripture and keeps a steady eye on justice, mercy, and the widening circle of God's welcome. Written to be accessible to newcomers and rewarding for seasoned believers, it works equally well for personal devotion and for small groups, with discussion prompts and leader-friendly weekly overviews built in. Ideal for individuals seeking a richer Lent, for small groups journeying together, and for parishes and study leaders wanting a complete Ash Wednesday to Easter resource. A thoughtful companion for anyone ready to cast into deeper water.
