A Psalm a Day for Lent and Easter

By Megan Daffern

Summary

Songs of the Spirit invites readers into a fresh emotional engagement with the period of Lent through a newly translated collection of Psalms by Rev. Megan Daffern. Rather than focusing solely on the Gospels, this devotional explores the diverse ways in which individuals can connect with God over the 40 days of Lent. Each Psalm is thoughtfully re-rendered to capture the full spectrum of human experience—from celebration and mourning to simplicity and complexity. Structured across seven weeks, the book thematically moves from worldly troubles and injustice to the beauty of creation, pilgrimage, holiness, and redemption, enriching spiritual reflection and deepening faith.
