Here's a "companion" for a daily journey during Lent (or whenever you seek to deepen, question, or renew your Christian faith. Using phrases from the Lord's Prayer, each reflection invites the reader to see the Holy at work in the world. Patten has been mentored by Barbara Brown Taylor, Lauren Winner, and Nora Gallagher. Theologian John Cobb has said, "Larry Patten has envisaged a format that should appeal to the busy reader. Each short chapter stands on its own, with its own message. It can function as a devotional moment. Yet the sequence of chapters develops a cumulative meaning. The writing is good and the stories are well told." A United Methodist pastor, Larry Patten has served churches, been a campus minister, and worked as a hospice chaplain.
