Reviews / Votes
A Benedictine artist, Martin Erspamer, and a Dominican theologian, Timothy Radcliffe, team up to produce this beautiful rendering of the Stations of the Cross. Erspamer portrays each station in vivid color and engaging form, while Radcliffe's meditations link the biblical context of each station with everyday Christian experience. Here is an apt Lenten gift!The Bible Today This book offers a meaningful alternative to the traditional stations and is a worthwhile book to read every Lent.
The Visitor Anywhere in the world, from Chicago to Tokyo, you can walk with Jesus, see him embrace his mother and meet the daughters of Jerusalem, be crucified and buried. This is a beautiful expression of the core of our faith, which is that Jesus embraced the dramas of every human life, our triumphs and failures, our joys and sorrows. In the Stations of the Cross, we remember how the Lord is with us, especially when we seem to be stuck and have lost the way forward. He walks with us, and trips with us when we stumble and helps us to our feet again.
