About this ebook

In his last week on Earth, Jesus knew the end was near. He knew the finality of Friday, but did he also know the victory of Sunday? Join bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado invites you to walk with Jesus in the week leading up to the crucifixion: feeling his passion, sensing his authority, and hearing his promise that death has no power.

On Calvary's Hill paints a picture of Jesus in his final week: Jesus was commonly dressed but uncommonly focused. Leaving Jericho and walking toward Jerusalem, he doesn't chatter or pause. He's on his final journey. Even the angels are silent. They know this is no ordinary walk or week--hinged on this week is the door of eternity.

With excerpts from Max's bestsellers, including 3:16, He Chose the Nails, and Just Like Jesus, On Calvary's Hill will take you into Jesus' last week, from the road to Jerusalem to the resurrection. Each reading includes a timeless verse, an in-depth reading, and a thoughtful prayer designed to help you draw near to the Savior and prepare to celebrate the resurrection--the greatest miracle ever conceived.

As we observe Jesus' last week, Max challenges us to face difficult questions, including:

When betrayal comes, what can we do?
Why is the cross a symbol of Christianity?
What would it feel like to witness this scene firsthand?

Let's follow Jesus on his final journey. By observing his, we may learn how to make ours.

This is a great Lenten devotional by Max Lucado. Each day’s reading is a perfect length with a scripture, a coinciding excerpt from one of his books, and a prayer. Each is Christ-centered and focuses on the days preceding and subsequent to the crucifixion and His resurrection. Each is thought-provoking and invites one into each scene, consider the events, and consider our own response. This is definitely something I would want to use year after year! The print copy would make a good gift, also. I highly recommend it to those who travel the 40-day journey of Lent and appreciate the author’s writing style of grace, mercy, forgiveness, and ultimately, God’s great love for us.
