SHUVU: The Sacred Call to Return
Shuvu: The Sacred Call to Return is not just an Ash Wednesday reflection. It is a prophetic invitation.
Rooted in Hebraic understanding and rich biblical insight, Dr. Delisa Rodgers unpacks the deeper meaning behind ashes, repentance, and the sacred call of teshuvah — the Hebrew word for return. This powerful teaching moves beyond ritual and into realignment, revealing how Ash Wednesday marks a spiritual threshold into renewal, humility, and divine restoration.
Through scriptural depth and prophetic clarity, this book explores:
• The meaning of teshuvah and true repentance
• The Hebrew understanding of levav — the surrendered heart
• Why ashes symbolize awakening, not shame
• The significance of forty as preparation, not punishment
• How God breathes life into dust and recreates what has drifted
With Scriptures from Joel, Genesis, Psalms, Acts, and Ezekiel, this short but profound guide will challenge surface spirituality and invite you into deeper devotion.
Ashes remind us we are dust. The Cross reminds us we are loved. If you are ready for realignment, renewal, and refreshing from the presence of the Lord, this ebook is your invitation to return.
