Reseña del libro ""The Messiah Must Suffer and Rise": Day-By-Day Gospel Readings for the Lent-Easter Season. A Companion to the Accounts of the Momentous Last Days of Jesus. (en Inglés)"
Jesus’ last journey from Galilee to Jerusalem was a journey of destiny that was rich with kingdom ministry. It was a journey into confrontation and suffering and crucifixion. It was a journey into victory and vindication. It was a journey he took in order to win our salvation. But how well do we know that journey? “The Messiah must suffer and rise” retraces Jesus’ steps as it takes the reader on a tour of some of the powerful scriptures that tell of the action-packed last days of the Son of Man, the Messiah, the King of the Jews, the Son of God. Easy-to-read daily gospel readings guide the reader clearly and caringly, offering refreshment, nourishment, explanation, encouragement. The readings will serve as an engaging, faith-invigorating companion for the Ash Wednesday-to-Easter season. Charles Price, who serves internationally as a Christian conference speaker and who broadcasts teaching programmes on Living Truth radio and television in some 70 countries, has commented as follows: “This series of readings by Alan James, leading through the Lenten season to Easter, present a heart-warming, mind-stimulating journey tracing the familiar story which surrounds the preparation, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus with fresh insights. This is scripture interpreted in a wider theological context, and reaching beyond the mind to the heart. For those who wish to go deeper, there are footnotes to enable a fuller study, which gives these studies a very wide sphere of usefulness. For those sceptical about Christianity and Easter, to go through these readings daily will give your mind and soul something to grapple with, and the hope of a new freedom to enjoy.”
