Passion: How Christ's Final Day Changes Your Every Day (McKinley)
Description
Some people see Jesus' death as a historical footnote, buried in the past. Christians understand it is much more than that, and know it has transformed their future.
But often we don't realise how much Jesus' last day should change our present, too.
Walking readers through Luke's Gospel, U.S. pastor and well-known author Mike McKinley looks at the events of the last day of Jesus' earthly life. At each point, he pauses to marvel at the love Christ has for His people; and shows how Jesus' people can learn from His passion, His care, and His integrity.
This unique book is perfect for both new and mature Christians. While great for reading at any time in the year, it's particularly helpful to read during Lent or Holy Week.
