Förlagets beskrivning
When They Crucified My Lord is a beautiful collection of Lenten Bible studies and prayers, written by the Franciscan Friar Brother Ramon. Drawn to a hermit's life, he was uniquely qualified to write the kind of book that demands peaceful reflection. Anyone who feels frazzled and in need of contemplative "time out" will enjoy this inspiring buildup to Easter--although what Brother Ramon writes is so engaging, you could read it any time of the year.
We follow Christ through the days leading up to his crucifixion--through days of fervor, days of tumult--until he is alone facing the horror of Golgotha. Brother Ramon employs powerfully different viewpoints to guide us through these Bible passages, from the betrayer Judas to Peter the Rock, from Jesus' beloved disciple John to his mother Mary.
Perhaps the most thought-provoking part of this book is its final section, Holy Week, where Brother Ramon teases out the dramatic implications of Christ's final words on the cross: "It is finished." He is not sobbing, or babbling in fear, despair or even resigned acceptance, crying, "It's the end--I can't take any more..." Rather it is a cry of triumph, of glory, of strange victory. If daily Bible study is an unheard of luxury, and you have time to read only one section of When They Crucified My Lord, then make it this one. --Amanda Cameron, Amazon.co.uk
