Good for Lent,
This review is from: The Seven Last Words of Christ: A Bible Study on Jesus' Passion (Emmaus Journey Bible Study Series) (Paperback)
This is a good book for a small group bible study. There are seven lessons. Each has passages that are short enough to read as a group, either to give members a chance to collect their thoughts or to catch up if they haven't had time to prepare. Each lesson also ends with a page of individual reflection and two lined pages for extra notes. There is also a brief "real world" story connected to each lesson, which were some of my favorite parts.

This review is from: The Seven Last Words of Christ: A Bible Study on Jesus' Passion (Emmaus Journey Bible Study Series) (Paperback)
I bought this to prepare to participate in part of a group discussion on "The Seven Last Words of Christ." I found this a great tool that any group could use to adequately break into this mysterious exercise normally left to the most experienced of preachers.
Each individual section provides the Sacred Scripture, a quote from a well-known writer/speaker and/or a relevant reflection, a series of questions for personal reflection, and a true story to summarize Jesus' words in a real-life situation. I found this very effective. For instance, when Jesus asks for forgiveness, "Father, forgive them...," the author uses Father Richard John Neuhaus who lists all who Jesus would have had in mind. Surprisingly, he ends with, "And for us he asks forgiveness, for we were there" (see Death on a Friday Afternoon: Meditations on the Last Words of Jesus from the Cross). This then becomes something we really need to reflect on. This is powerful in showing that each of us played a part in this. It is not just "them." Jesus went to the cross for me and you. This is coupled with a real-life example on betrayal and the difficulty of forgiveness. It shows how the Lord must open our eyes to see our faults and how we really need the same forgiveness that we refuse to give to others -- a difficult but genuine lesson for any of us to begin to see and grasp. There are others too, for example: we are Dismas; we also enter into the pain of separation Jesus experienced with his Mother; etc. It's a simple presentation that can have a moving effect. It is not overdone. It allows plenty of room for us to enter the picture and see ourselves in the light of this aspect of the Passion of Jesus. It is moderately priced for groups with Amazon's "4-for-3 promotion."

This review is from: The Seven Last Words of Christ: A Bible Study on Jesus' Passion (Emmaus Journey Bible Study Series) (Paperback)
This book was just what our small church group needed during Lent. It led right up to Easter with seven lessons that really explore the last days of Jesus' earthly life. I personally enjoyed the lesson about Jesus' Mother Mary and her role as supporter, follower and revered Mother. Highly recommended as well as the other books in this series.
