A Walk with Jesus on His Journey to Calvary and Beyond Angela Maria Lush

As the author says of A Walk with Jesus... it is really a love story, despite the harsh subject matter; and if used for meditation, hopefully it will transform our lives. When people observe the 'stations of the cross' - paintings or relief sculptures of Christ's passion and his death on Calvary - it's not a question of worshipping images, more a series of pauses for thought and prayer. Here, the author puts the reader in the crowd. We sense the heat, the noise and the mood of people intent on one thing - suffering and execution of a blameless young man. With each word picture, there are reflections and short prayers relevant to our lives today. Could anything be more harrowing than the slow, sad steps Jesus took to Calvary, burdened by his cross? Could anything be more uplifting than these heartfelt reminders of his supreme act of selflessness - dying so that we could live?
