The Nail: Being part of the Passionby Stephen Cottrell (SPCK) £6.29 at the Diocesan Resources Centre
This is Bishops Stephen's latest. It is very much concerned with re-telling the Christian story, this time from the perspective of those who were involved in Christ's crucifixion and who, one by one, justify their actions, provoking us into considering our own. As well as being for individual or group study during Lent, this book, which is as much a play as a book, can be used as Good Friday, or an evangelistic liturgy.
