description: This devotional summons us to follow Jesus on the way of the cross, a traditional pattern of Christian dedication that is focused on the events of Christ's passion. The meditations include brief, powerful quotations from historic and contemporary Christians such as C. S. Lewis, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Lewis Smedes, M. Scott Peck, Annie Dillard, and Henri Nouwen. These writings speak to spiritual issues like abandoning ourselves to God, letting go of apparent security, dying to old relationships, finding meaning in adversity, and bearing the suffering of others. Separate chapters trace each of the fourteen Stations of the Cross. A fine book for reflection and thought throughout the year, The Journey Beckons has particular power for the Lenten season.
