Notes on an Execution: Meditations for Lent, Holy Week and Easter

By Rhidian Brook

Experience Holy Week as if for the first time... first hand.

Bestselling novelist and broadcaster Rhidian Brook invites you to step back into the story of Holy Week and see it unfold as if you were there.

Told as a series of vivid, real-time eyewitness reports, Notes on an Execution takes you from Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem to his execution and beyond, without the cushion of hindsight. You stand among the crowds and disciples, experiencing each moment with all its original tension, shock and surprise - full of the confusion and hope felt by those who first encountered Jesus.

A moving final reflection explores what Easter means for us today, with thoughtful questions for personal meditation or group discussion.

Rooted in biblical accounts and historical insight, Notes on an Execution brings fresh life to a story that has shaped the world for two thousand years. Perfect for Lent reading, small groups or personal devotion, it will help you see the story you thought you knew with new eyes... and feel its urgency and wonder afresh.
