A New Look at the Passion and Death of Jesus Christ,
This review is from: Walk with Jesus: Stations of the Cross (Paperback)
This book combines the beautiful drawings of Sr. Helen David with the meditations of Henri Nouwen to present a look at the sufferings of Jesus through the experience of human suffering in the world today. From Central America to Katmandu, the human experience is united to the suffering of Jesus Christ for all people of the world, and to the joy of His Resurrection. This is a truly new look at a traditional devotion, and an invitation to the Christians of today to "Walk With Jesus".

A moving meditative piece,
By keyboardplyr "Divva" (Hinckley, OH USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Walk with Jesus: Stations of the Cross (Paperback)
The illustrations add color to the devotional text. This is a must read for Lenten devotions or should at least be read during Holy Week. It is a very moving document.
