Review

'Herein lie keys to the Christian Mysteries, veiled in apparent simplicity. The results of serious meditation upon the Seven Days of Holy Week are both profound and life-enhancing.'
– The Inner Light

'Bock writes with great reverence and clarity. His storytelling is luminous and vivid. He has the ability to transport the reader right into the events and places described... His writing is secure and confident but never overbearing; authoritative yet uplifting... Bock makes the most profound mystery understandable and intimate. What is hugely complicated is made to sound simple... This is a good sized hardback volume with a bookmarker attached to keep track of the pages as you progress through the week. It is bigger than a pocket sized book but small enough to fit comfortably on a bedside table and, with its handsome loose leafed cover, would make a special present for anyone.'
