We thought we knew these Bible stories - Jesus and the Magi, Jesus and the temple elders, Jesus and the disciples...Nathanael, John the Baptist, and all of those who sought healing. But the Rev. Debbie McMillan has cast these familiar tales in a new light revealing the hard learning, fresh doubts, and the need for courage that left those who met Jesus healed and yet not healed., whole and yet not whole. Encountering Jesus in the Lenten book is not always a delight. As the rich man discovers in the reflection for Day 9, "You were supposed to give me an answer - a clear, sensible answer. Instead, you've left me with questions and confusion." But this is the richness of the legacy left to those who meet with Jesus and are confronted by his message. A week-by-week study guide complements the reflections.
