Come Closer

This season when we walk alongside

that Certain One we are not asked

to give up what we hold dear

in the name of self-discipline.

We are invited instead to step forward

to walk into a space we have yet

to inhabit -- a place where we can

begin to discover the full measure

of the gifts we've been given.

Join poet and former pastor Cathy Warner as she answers Jesus' invitation to come closer in the season of Lent. From Ash Wednesday through the events of Holy Week, from the crucifixion to the resurrection, Warner extends her own invitation to the faithful and seekers alike as she brings her questions, doubts, and growing faith to Jesus with honest and imaginative prose, lyrical poetry, and inspiring photos.
