I’m looking for a really good book to help me get the most out of Lent this year. I’ve done some searches and there are an unbelievable number of books that are supposed to help one prepare for Lent, but which to choose??? Then it dawned on me to ask the fine folks at CAF what their favorite Lenten books are.

So please, give me your personal recommendations and a brief explanation of why you think the book you suggest is a good resource. Thanks. 🙂

Since Great Lent is a school of radical repentance I would suggest Turning the Heart to God by St Theophan the Recluse. It is an extremely profound and practical work on repentance. It’s difficult for me to express how highly I recommend this book. 👍
