Written in the early twentieth century by Rev. A. G. Sertillanges, a priest who lived in Jerusalem, this acclaimed devotional classic gives you vivid and dramatic details not included in the Gospel: With Jesus, you'll be jostled by crowds as you enter Jerusalem, choke on the dust of the narrow streets, experience the exotic oriental smells of the city at festival time, share the Last Supper with the disciples, stare into the face of Jesus' accusers, and be there as He dies on the Cross.
Relying on findings of archaeologists and historians to refine the image of Jesus familiar from 2000 years of tradition, Sertillanges finds historical precedents for such events as the soldiers dressing Jesus as a mock king and casting lots for his clothes.
Do you remember when Jesus begged His disciples to "watch one hour" with Him in the Garden of Gethsemane? With this book, you can watch not just one but many hours with Jesus.
Designed to be read slowly and prayerfully, as kind of a personal retreat, an interior pilgrimage. The vivid details and the gripping narrative will soon take over: you'll find yourself engaged in, and a profound meditation on the love and sufferings of Jesus on the Cross.
