The Passion: 40 Reflections on the Death and Resurrection of Jesus

In this companion to devotions on the Passion, author Paul Thigpen takes readers on a 40-day journey through the heart-rending last hours of Jesus. Filled with key passages from scripture and thoughtful reflections, Thigpen also includes the vivid meditations of Anne Catherine Emmerich and Maria of Agreda who long-ago wrote about the harsh reality of Jesus' death on the cross. Readers will kneel with Jesus in Gethsemane, stand before Herod and Pontius Pilate, experience the scourging at the pillar, weep with Mary on Golgotha, and watch in horror as Christ is crucified. Finally, readers will shout for grateful joy for the priceless gift God gives us in the sacrifice of His Son.
