Keep a True Lent

Keep a True Lent
by Charles Fillmore

Includes forty-seven powerful, thought-provoking lessons and affirmations for the Lenten season as well as a collection of classic Fillmore writings.

The Lenten season, likely established as early as the fourth century by either Athanasius or Ambrose, has come to reflect an apostolic tradition of "denying oneself" to achieve a greater appreciation of Gods presence. Charles Fillmore, the co-founder of Unity, presents a Lenten observance based upon the denying of negative thought. In the seventeen chapters of his book, Keep a True Lent, he presents the practice and metaphysics of Lent. In the forty-eight lessons (Sunday is traditionally excluded from the "forty days of Lent"), recommended readings and daily lessons are provided to help the student maintain this period of spiritual practice to achieve a greater appreciation of Gods presence.
