Reliving the Passion: Meditations on the Suffering, Death, and the Resurrection of Jesus as Recorded in Mark.

No story has more significance than this: the death and resurrection of Jesus. But somehow the oft-repeated tale of Christâ€™s passion can become too familiar, too formalized, for us to experience its incredible immediacy.

The meditations in Reliving the Passion, which received a Gold Medallion Award in 1993, follow the story as given in the gospel of Markâ€”from the moment when the chief priests plot to kill Jesus to the Resurrection. But these readings are more than a recounting of events; they are an imaginary reenactment, leading the reader to re-experience the Passion or perhaps see it fully for the very first time.

As only a great storyteller can, Walter Wangerin enables the reader to see the story from the inside, to discover the strangeness and wonder of the events as they unfold. Itâ€™s like being there. In vivid images and richly personal detail, Wangerin helps us recognize our own faces on the streets of Jerusalem; breathe the dark and heavy air of Golgotha; and experience, as Mary and Peter did, the bewilderment, the challenge, and the ultimate revelation of knowing the man called Jesus.

â€œThe story gets personal for every reader,â€ writes Wangerin, â€œfor this is indeed our story, the story whereby we personally have been saved from such a death as Jesus died.

â€œNo, there is not another tale in the world more meaningful than thisâ€”here is where we all take our stands against sin and death and Satan, upon this historical, historic event. I consider it a holy privilege to participate in it retelling.

â€œRead this book slowly. Read it with a seeing faith. Walk the way with Jesus. We, his followers of later centuries, do follow even now. Read, walk, come, sigh, live. Live! Rise again!â€
