Lenten Book Study: Hind’s Feet on High Places

LENTEN BOOK STUDY: HIND’S FEET ON HIGH PLACES

“Hind’s Feet on High Places” by Hannah Hurnard is a timeless tale that follows the journey of Much-Afraid, a young woman with many fears and imperfections, as she embarks on a journey to the High Places with the Shepherd. Through her trials and triumphs, Much-Afraid learns to trust the Shepherd’s guidance and experience the freedom and joy of surrendering to His will.

During this Lenten book study, we will explore the themes of faith, perseverance, and transformation found within the pages of this beloved story. Each week, we will discuss different chapters, reflecting on their significance in our spiritual journeys.

Whether you’re new to the book or have read it before, this Lenten study offers a meaningful opportunity to deepen your faith, connect with others in the community, and prepare your heart for the Easter season. All sessions take place at 30 S State Road or online. Contact briarcliffchurchpastor@gmail.com to receive a zoom link.
