The pivotal event in world history is the birth of Jesus Christ; the central point for humans in history is the resurrection from the dead of God's Son three days after His crucifixion. This Lenten season increase your understanding of the magnitude of Christ's rising from the dead in either one or both of Lutheran Hour Ministries' seasonal devotions. From The Mount of Transfiguration to Mount Calvary – A Lenten Journey renders in a style familiar to long-time readers the salient events in Christ's life inaugurated by His transfiguration and accomplished by His atoning work on Calvary. Walking With Jesus follows the Lord in a contemporary voice as He ministers to those around Him, befriending and encouraging those who would follow Him and, all the time displaying compassion for a sinful and renegade world.

Both versions capture how the gift of God's pure love—a love that is simply beyond our comprehension—found its full expression in the life, death, and resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ.

From The Mount of Transfiguration to Mount Calvary
Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod Pastor and Chaplain Vern Gundermann takes the reader alongside Jesus as He completes His earthly mission in His Father's service. Everywhere Jesus went—whether along a dusty back road or a paved city street—what stood front and center for Him was the cross. And it was against those rough timbers that He—the Christ, God's “anointed one”—would ultimately find Himself nailed.

Walking With Jesus
During the Lenten season, the Church acknowledges Christ's passion and celebrates His victory over the forces of darkness. The consequences of misapprehending the significance of Christ's atoning work on the cross and what His resurrection from the dead means for each of us cannot be overstated. In Walking With Jesus, Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod educator Chuck Strohacker puts the reader on an inside track showing what that victory means in the life of a believer.
