Synopsis

The Isolated Jesus has many uses. The seven meditations were originally written for a three-hour Good Friday liturgy. The meditations may be adopted for Lenten study groups, for dramatization during mid-week Lent services or for special times during Holy Week. 

The book includes a suggested order of service for a three-hour liturgy. 

This book will be welcomed by all those who seek to enter more deeply into the Passion of Jesus Christ.... Especially by those who concentrate their study on Mark.

He has the lucidity of the deeply spiritual guides of every age, a lucidity that permits the reader to dip as deeply as he or she can into the clear waters of his narrative, to return time and again for refreshment from the same text.

The meditations are exegetically sound, homiletically provocative, spiritually motivating and address the contemporary Christian, and the community of faith.
