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".

This book brought me many insights into suffering. It's a very powerful book if you want to understand more Jesus' death on the cross, or learn to rejoice always, especially in your own suffering. READ THIS BOOK!

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.

Fr Henri Nouwen and Sr Helen David Brancato,IHM have combined their talents for this book of the stations of the cross.The Stations comemmorate the 14{or 15 it differs} Stations of the path to the Crucifixion of Jesus. Sr Helen david has updated this byusing contemporary scenes{in striking color drawings} ofa man in prison{ Jesus is condemned} a campesino carrying wood{Jesus cariies his cross}an abandoned vietnamese child{Jesus falls the first time},etc. Fr Nouwen then relates each picture to the station of the cross. Very powerful meditative reading. Simple,honest and quite beautiful.
