Description
Hard and Holy Work: A Lenten Journey Through the Book of Exodus explores how to integrate personal spiritual lives with engagement in working for justice and liberation. This book provides a space for readers to participate in Lent by becoming attuned to God's presence in their world and taking action for God's justice.
Pastor Mary Alice Birdwhistell and Hebrew Bible scholar Tyler Mayfield reflect on stories from the book of Exodus, including those of midwives Shiphrah and Puah, Moses' encounter with the burning bush, and the Israelites crossing the Red Sea. Alongside contemporary stories, they help readers see anew how God is calling them to respond to injustices such as racial injustice, houselessness, and discrimination.
Lent is a time of self-reflection and action that prepares followers of Christ to walk more intentionally in the way of God. This book offers a new way to participate in Lent, encouraging readers to contemplate how they can take action for God's justice in their own lives and communities.
