Each year, the Holy Week and Easter double issue of the Church Times offers a wealth of seasonal reading and resources for worship and preaching. This volume, like its companion Christmas collection, draws together outstanding features from the past twenty years. It includes:* Meditations on the Stations of the Cross by the poet David Scott;* A short story set in Gethsemane by David Hart;* Timothy Radcliffe on the alternative to conflict symbolised by the Last Supper;* Sam Wells on Pilate and what he - and we - could do differently;* Richard Harries on the art of Good Friday;* Peter Stanford on Judas;* Michael Perham on why Easter celebrations should start in the dark;* Stephen Cleobury on the carols of Easter;* Mark Oakley on the poetry of the cross;* Paula Gooder on why the resurrection is central to faith;* Reflections on the season''s lectionary readings, and much besides.In life Jesus had ''nowhere to lay his head'' and in death was laid in a borrowed tomb. Mindful of this, all royalties from this book will go to the Church Homeless Trust.
