Jesus, Guide of My Life

In Jesus, Guide of My Life, bestselling author and retreat leader Joyce Rupp invites readers on a forty-day Lenten journey to encounter Jesus more deeply through the Gospels. Each day’s reflection explores the words and actions of Christ so that his teachings and living presence can inspire true spiritual transformation.

In this third volume of her Lenten reflection trilogy, Rupp shares her insight and personal experience of how the Gospel shapes everyday life. She describes Jesus as both compass and companion, whose wisdom and love “pilot us when we are caught in the stormy weather of grief and serve as guardrails when our minds travel on roads made of worry and self-deprecation.”

Rupp helps readers connect with Jesus as teacher, healer, and counselor, and most importantly as “the Way” who draws us into divine love. Each day includes a brief Gospel meditation, a prayer, a daily intention, and a question for personal reflection or group discussion.

Accessible and heartfelt, Jesus, Guide of My Life is a gentle companion for anyone seeking to deepen faith and trust in Christ throughout the Lenten season.
