His Passion: Christ's Journey to the Resurrection

I am dedicated to Jesus Christ, but sometimes it's hard to pick up the bible everyday. This devotion book is soooo wonderful to help with that. Each page has an ancient artistic feel to it, instead of just white boring paper. The devotions are very meaningful, and are written by famous people including Martin Luther. They are fun to read, and I have to admit that I read more than 1 devotion a day because it's so interesting. It's a small sized book, so I can carry it around everywhere and the cover is so fun feeling...I just love handling it! This book is devotions about the story of Jesus Christ, and what he was willing to do for us, and the pain he endured for us. How much he loved us ect..... The writing style is similiar to the bible's, and the devotions each come with a quote from the bible. I recommend this book to any christian!

This has some wonderful insight, and I was pleased with the regular use of the church fathers to illuminate the meaning of Christ's passion. Every reading is based on a specific scripture - and these scriptures progress from the triumphal entry to his ascension. Definitely worth an extended read.

For any serious Christian, this spin-off journal released in conjunction with the new Mel Gibson Movie describing "The Passion" of the Christ is a wonderful daily companion, one that offers a year's worth of daily devotions organized around passages from the Gospels and accompanying reflections from a wide selection of erstwhile Biblical scholars. By focusing attention on the period of Jesus' passion, from Palm Sunday up to Easter Sunday a week later, this series of thought-provoking and educational daily devotions offers an opportunity for both personal experience and religious contemplation. The book is lovingly illustrated, and is small enough to fit in one's jacket pocket or briefcase for easy reference and daily quiet time. The range of individual contributors referenced herein is impressive indeed, from Saint Augustine to Charles Wesley, from John Bunyan to Max Lucado, and from Philip Yancey to Walter Wangerin. Therefore, given the fact of 365 entries, there is a plethora of individual interpretations to aid one in his or her own spiritual questioning and growth. And the fact that it is such an attractive volume makes it a very personal and meaningful Easter gift for one's loved ones. To avoid any possible confusion, however, one should mention that although this volume was inspired by and released in conjunction with the movie, and obviously has the same religious subject matter (The Passion of the Christ), as does the movie, it really has nothing to do with the Mel Gibson production in terms of photographs or movie dialogue. Instead, this is a wonderful religious tutorial organized as a series of daily vespers, tracing the course of the events of that most momentous week in the history of the world, the week covering the events leading to the divine sacrifice of the Christ. Beginning with the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday through His capture in the Garden of Gethsemane to the raucous trial, His murderous treatment during the final twelve hours, and His final moments on the Cross, bearing the sins of the world. This is a serious book meant to facilitate both personal contemplation and religious devotion, and one I plan to use to my own continuing religious education.
