Encounter on the Road to the Cross: A Lenten Study for Adults - Tapa blanda

This Lenten study, appropriate for individual or group use, explores seven Gospel characters' encounters with Jesus--one for each Sunday in Lent. Each character tells his or her own story, enabling the reader to see Jesus more clearly. A prayer, discussion questions, and suggested ways to deepen the Lenten journey are included in each chapter. Each lesson can be adapted for a 30-minute to one-hour study.

Characters and themes include:
* the rich young man (self-denial)
* the woman caught in adultery (forgiveness)
* the woman at the well (new life)
* the mother of James and John (ambition)
* Caiaphas the High Priest (jealousy)
* Simon of Cyrene (cross-bearing)
* Nicodemus (new birth)

This resource emphasizes thematic (theme-based) study.
