The death and resurrection of Jesus have a direct effect on the way we live today: what sort of Christian we are; what priorities we have; by what values we choose to live; where we place our hope. The Cross of Hope is an attempt to make our reflection on the death and resurrection of Christ a richer and deeper experience. Subtitled 'Words of Encourage-ment for the Imperfect Disciple', it is a revised version of an earlier publi-cation, Lenten Reflections.
