Journeying with Jesus: Personal Reflections on the Stations of the Cross and Resurrection
Ebook
Contemporary and personal reflections on Stations of the Cross and Resurrection by well-known contributors from public life.
An introduction is followed by a complete set of reflections on the Stations, written by those who have made the headlines, those who write the headlines and those who reflect on the headlines in their sermons and in the broadcast media.
Individual stations reflect the personal experience of the author: Margaret Mizen, whose son Jimmy was murdered in an unprovoked attack in a baker's shop in South London in 2008, identifies with Jesus' mother Mary at the foot of the Cross; physicist Russell Stannard reflects on space in the Empty Tomb; Kelly Connor who, at the age of 17, ran over and killed an innocent victim, writes about the need to be forgiven.
Contributors include Ann Widdecombe, Archbishop John Sentamu, Archbishop Vincent Nichols, Peter Hitchens, Fr Timothy Radcliffe, Peter Stanford, Ruth Burrows and Sister Wendy Beckett. Other contributions come from an Army chaplain, the Chief Executive of mental health charity MIND, Anne Maguire (of the wrongfully convicted Maguire Seven, who spent nine years in prison), and a former Director of High Security in the prison service.
Contemporary and personal reflections on the Stations of the Cross and Resurrection by well-known contributors from public life.
Personal reflections by high-profile contributors: a contemporary take on a very traditional subject
Combines the long-established Stations of the Cross with the much more recently recognised Stations of the Resurrection, presenting the Easter story as a unified whole.
Specially commissioned line drawings bring each Station to life and help the book reach both the devotional and 'gift' markets
