Individual Devotions for Good Enough

We are pleased to be using the devotional book, Good Enough: 40’ish Devotionals for a Life of Imperfection, as the basis for our worship this Lent. Each week we will be focusing on a concept from the book, and we invite you to use it as a daily devotional, with the exception of
Sundays (this is traditionally how the “40 days of Lent” are calculated.)

You may read the listed devotions in any order in that week. There are check boxes to help you keep track of what you’ve read. The first page number after each devotional title correspond to pages in the book
and the second one is the page in the free downloadable journal pages from Kate’s team that can help you spend more time with each devotion, if you are hungry for more.
