A very moving presentation of the Way of the Cross... Nicely done. -- Religious Resources International
From the Back Cover
Every Friday in Jerusalem, Franciscan monks take groups of pilgrims down the Via Dolorosa, the road Christ may have walked on his way to the cross. Stopping at each of fourteen locations that mark events in the final days of Christ's life, the pilgrims recall the Passion story and offer prayers for the world. In A Walk in Jerusalem, The Rev. Canon John L. Peterson, Secretary General of the Anglican Communion, brings new life to this centuries-old ritual, known as the Stations of the Cross. Illustrated with a map, 14 black-and-white photographs, and 14 pen-and-ink drawings, this helpful guide provides the appropriate episode of the Passion story along with a meditation and brief liturgy that apply that story to today's world.
Designed for use on Good Friday or general devotions, A Walk in Jerusalem offers new insight into the Passion Narratives and encouragement to live as Christ taught.
The Rev. Canon John Peterson is Secretary General of the Anglican Communion. Prior to moving to London, he was Dean of St. George's College, Jerusalem. He is a Canon in three Cathedrals: The Cathedral of Christ the King, Kalamazoo, Michigan; St. George's Cathedral, Jerusalem; and Christ Cathedral, Canterbury. A U.S. citizen, Canon Peterson is an appointed missionary priest of the Episcopal Church of the United States.

The Stations made real.,
By Patricia Ann Tourangeau (Lafayette, Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Walk in Jerusalem: Stations of the Cross (Paperback)
I just came from the Maunday Thrusday Watch where I read A Walk in Jersusalem, Stations of the Cross as I watched in the Garden. The flow and pace took me along the path Jesus walked on the way to Gaulgatha. It made the story of the cursifiction come alive for me in a way it never has before, I was there watching,and following along as Jesus, then Simon carried the cross. I would be especially good for a Lenten study or to walk your own "way of the cross". I know I will read and re-read this book many times.
