40-day devotional for the season of Lent (with reflection questions).
What is the book "Journey to the Cross" about?
Holy Week is an annual reminder of Jesus' sacrifice and his triumph over death.
As Christians, we celebrate it, vividly going through each stage of that last week of Jesus' life before his resurrection.
This devotional encourages you to prepare in advance for this celebration of lament, gratitude, and victory through Christ's work.
Perhaps the concept of Lent is unfamiliar to the evangelical tradition; it is simply a 40-day period of spiritual preparation to remember and give thanks for Jesus' sacrifice on the cross.
More than a ritual or an empty religiosity, author Paul Tripp invites you on a forty-day journey to prepare your heart.
Reflect on the many aspects of the meaning of the cross of Christ, apply each truth to your life, and grow in the grace that is found only in Him.
Who is this book for?
This book is especially designed for you to do the devotional during the 40 days leading up to the celebration of Holy Week.
However, any time of the year is good to take this special time to meditate on the passion of Jesus Christ and his glorious resurrection.
In its pages, you will find deep and practical meditations that will encourage you to see that the work of Christ is greater than you imagined.
In addition, the reflection questions after each devotional will lead you to introspection and application of each truth you meditate on.
From lament to victory, from pain to celebration, this devotional will help you in your spiritual growth.
The author says: "Through these forty days together, may our lament increase so that our joy may be deepened."
