Easter
Popular author and EWTN host Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle presents a daily devotional companion for families with young children. She illustrates how to bring Lent home, doing "small things with great love" under the guidance of the Blessed Mother Teresa, with whom she enjoyed a close friendship.
While many Lenten reflection booklets are designed for individuals or small groups, this one is formatted specifically for families and draws on the wisdom of Blessed Mother Teresa. This daily guide shows parents and children alike how to put her words into practice with practical suggestions on how to live the threefold call of Lent: to fast, pray, and care the poor. Each Sunday's focus is drawn from the themes assigned to that Sunday of Lent and a project for the week ahead is suggested. Usable during all three Catholic lectionary cycles.
Lent for Everyone: Luke, Year C provides readers with an inspirational guide through the Lenten season, from Ash Wednesday through the week after Easter. Popular biblical scholar and author N. T. Wright provides his own Scripture translation, brief reflection, and a prayer for each of the days of the season, helping readers ponder how the text is relevant to their own lives today. By the end of the book readers will have been through the entirety of Luke, along with Psalm readings for each Sunday. Suitable for both individual and group study and reflection, Wright's Lenten devotional will help you make Luke's gospel your own, thoughtfully and prayerfully, and your journey through Lent a period of rich discovery and growth.
This is an account, at once rigorously theological and warmly devotional, of the death and resurrection of Christ, and their significance for the Christian life. Von Balthasar offers sharp insights into some current controversies -- for example, the 'bodiliness' of the Resurrection -- and spiritual inspiration for the year round. This scholarly reflection of the climax of the Christian year is an established classic of contemporary Catholic theology.
Eyewitness is a full series of dramas designed to be performed during the Lenten season. Ideal for churches that observe the Church Year and are more liturgical in nature but can also be adapted for more non-liturgical settings. Written by bestselling author Tim Kurth, these longer form dramas can serve in place of the message in the context of a Lenten worship service.
This series is tested effective having been performed in church during the Lenten season. It includes contact information for buyers to get personal assistance from the author in producing their own version of this drama series. As with other works by the author, these dramas can be produced with a minimum of sets, props, staging and costumes. However, this series can be easily produced with full staging, lighting and all the 'trimmings' of a stage show if desired.
Any Pastor looking for an innovative dramatic presentation telling the events of Holy Week will find Eyewitness to be extremely effective and very easy to use. Series comes complete with scripture readings for each week.

Nouwen invites readers to join him on a 40-day Lenten path as fellow pilgrims, from the solemn beginning of Ash Wednesday to the joyous climax of Easter. This inspirational "search for the way" speaks directly to the heart during this time of reflection and prayer.
In his inspiring book 24 Hours That Changed the World, Adam Hamilton guided us, step by step, through the last day of Jesus’ life.
Now, in a companion DVD that also functions beautifully on its own, we travel to the Holy Land with Adam Hamilton to visit the sites where those earth-shaking events took place. We walk where Jesus walked and see what he may have seen, along the road that led to the pain and triumph of the cross.
The DVD includes seven sessions plus an introduction and bonus clips. Each session averages ten minutes each.
Video sequences of Adam teaching from the Holy Land were made possible by Educational Opportunities Tours. For more information, visit www.eo.travelwithus.com

A short meditation for each day of the season of Lent, with illustrations and detachable pages that can be posted for convenient reflection reminders.
Weems's lyrical poetry is a reminder of the importance of true discipleship. She challenges Christians to look past the ongoing distractions of the "busy work" of church meetings and socials, new programs and technology, and inevitable conflict, while reminding readers in her singularly expressive voice that the "institution" of the church is, at heart, quite simply all about Jesus. This collection of poems, written to be used in worship, in personal devotions, and in discussion groups, is organized to follow the liturgical year from Advent through Easter.
Kneeling in Bethlehem

Resurrection: Interpreting the Easter Gospel
What do history and archaeology have to say about Jesus death, burial, and resurrection? In this superb book, two of the world's most celebrated writers on the historical Jesus share their greatest findings. Together, Craig A. Evans and N. T. Wright concisely and compellingly dubunk popular myths about the historical Jesus and convey the true, world-shattering significance of Jesus' final days on earth.
During Lent each year, Christians give up something as an act of sacrifice and spiritual discipline. Often it is something like chocolate, knowing that after Easter Sunday they can once again enjoy what they have given up. James Moore challenges readers to take it further—to give up something spiritually that they would be better off not doing. He invites all to seek God's help to focus on eliminating one habit or attitude that is destructive. Imagine giving up envy, jealousy, self-pity, apathy, procrastination, gossip, resentment, or negative thinking, how much better life would be.
The forty days of Lent are ideal to use this study and prepare to give up something bad while preparing to fully embrace the "Good News" of Easter. Study includes seven sessions, one for each Sunday in Lent and Easter Sunday. Each session features a Scripture reference, a personal reading, questions for personal reflection or group study, and closing prayer.
Who really did kill Jesus? Was the Jewish leadership responsible for his death or maybe it was the Romans who crucified him? This Easter play is set in a courtroom in Jerusalem immediately after Jesus' death where the disciples of Jesus demand justice. His disciples demand that Caiaphas, leader of the Jewish people, and Pilate, representative of Rome, stand trial for their master's death. Witnesses for the prosecution and the defense present their testimony and the judge reaches a verdict. However, the case takes an unexpected turn which shocks both the prosecution and the defense. The true motives of everyone involved are revealed which explains the current social conditions, the turmoil, and religious hatred in the world today.
