The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.  + Isaiah 14:7

In this Lenten devotional, biblical texts and simple, accessible practices walk hand-in-hand with Wendell Berry’s poetic vision of sabbath and the natural world.  All you’ll need is your favorite Bible and Wendell Berry’s This Day: Collected and New Sabbath Poems (the poems may also be found online). Week by week, we’ll walk through the woods together toward Easter morning, keeping sabbath as we go — with Wendell Berry as our guide.

This resource includes introductions to both the Lenten season and the ancient practice of sabbath keeping, as well as an editable page on which you can enter upcoming worship services and other events before printing.  The result is a resource that can become an organic part of your everyday life.

The scriptural passages in this devotional correspond to Year A in the Revised Common Lectionary — but since their themes are universal, this devotional can be used fruitfully during any Lenten season. Think about pairing this devotional with SALT's "Lent Wendell Berry Collection" of art, perfect for posting up on your fridge — or on social media.

Files: This listing is for a downloadable PDF, printing instructions, and also an e-reader version of the devotional.  Please note: you will not receive a physical product as this is a digital download.
