Part 1 takes the form of a conventional Lent book, with manageable chapters for five weeks of Lent. Ford explains in the preface how Meeting God in John became a “Lent-plus” book, joyfully spilling out into Holy Week and Easter. Part 2 focuses on the three “happenings” of Holy Week: the Last Supper, the crucifixion, and the resurrection. AdvertisementFord’s longing to encourage and enable people to enter deeply and prayerfully into John’s Gospel makes this a gem of a Lent book. churchtimes.co.uk/eventsMeeting God in John: A companion for Lent, Holy Week and beyondDavid F.
