Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

This compelling sequence of reports on the events of Holy Week traces the journey Jesus made from his arrival in Jerusalem to his execution.

The reports read as if contemporary to the events as they happened, enabling you to imagine them unfolding as though in real time, without relying on the after-the-event wisdom that we carry.

The result is a moving experience in which you become a first-hand follower, not always knowing what comes next, or how it will end, and without possessing the weight or comfort of the theological and cultural understanding that has gathered over the centuries since.

The book concludes with a personal reflection on the meaning of Easter, followed by a series of questions and prompts for further reflection or discussion.
