by: Stan Purdum; Kirk W. Bruce; Douglas E. Meyer; Kenneth Carlson

An anthology of ready-to-use resources that you can build on to create memorable Ash Wednesday and Holy Week services. Included are:

A Season in Purgatory, an Ash Wednesday service with a sermon examining the concept of purgatory and how we atone for our sin.

Why I am an Optimist, a service and message for Passion/Palm Sunday.

As I Have Love You, a moving Maundy Thursday program.

Through the Eyes of Jesus, a Good Friday service that intersperses hymns, prayers and scripture readings with brief meditations.

Behold, I Show You a Mystery, a set of three choral readings that are especially appropriate for Easter sunrise service.
