In Remembrance of Me is a book of meditations for the season of Lent. Each day includes a Scripture reading, a reflection on the main idea, and ends with a prayer. Sheri A. Sutton's thoughtful use of Scripture and down-to-earth approach uses everyday experiences to bring the reader into a conversation about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Sutton writes "When we open our minds and hearts to the presence of God, the spirit of the Son is made known within us. When we allow him to transform us, we become testaments to God's resurrecting power as revealed in our daily lives. And when we proclaim our faith in the risen Christ, we become followers of someone remarkable-a Savior for all mankind."

Songs of Faith and Hope will lead the reader through forty meditations based on twenty-three of David's psalms that focus on the hope of God's faithfulness even in the darkest moments of our lives.

The poetry and writings included in this book are ordinary moments that are common events one might experience on any average day. But upon further review, they are not ordinary moments-they are memorable moments that define us.Ordinary, memorable moments expand our humanity and open our hearts to a greater awareness and understanding of ourselves and the world in which we live. Most importantly, those moments give us a glimpse of who we are and a hint of who we can be.

Why is prayer such an important aspect of our lives? Prayer is an extraordinary connective force and connects us to a higher power, to nature, and to each other. Throughout the ages, many have survived varying difficult and unthinkable circumstances because of prayer. Prayer gives us courage when we are fearful, hope when we are hopeless, and strength when we are weak. It is the part of life's journey that allows us to find answers to puzzling questions and solutions to difficult situations. Prayer empowers us to do the unexpected and raises our consciousness to be more in tune with ourselves and the world around us.
