Grace Words from the Cross: Messages For Lent, Holy Week Or Good Friday (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781556733826)

Father, forgive them; for they know not what they are doing. -- Luke 23:34

As in Luke 23:34, John R. Brokhoff offers "words of grace" in this series of sermons for Lent, Holy Week, or Good Friday. The messages are based on passages from Luke, John, and Matthew.

This book offers four options: as a series of six messages for Lent and one for Holy Week; a series of sermons for each day of Holy Week; a three-hour Good Friday service; for personal meditation and reflection.

Themes are:
- The first word -- mercy.
- The second word -- promise.
- The third word -- concern.
- The fourth word -- fidelity.
- The fifth word -- need.
- The sixth word -- completion.
- The seventh word -- commitment.

Scriptures are from the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible.
