Gary Jansen mines inspiring treasures from the Stations of the Cross while demonstrating their practical application in everyday life. This is not only an excellent meditation for Lent in preparation for Holy Week, but a treasure for every season of the believer's walk with Christ.
--Christopher West

For centuries, Christians have been nourished by praying the Stations of the Cross. In Station to Station, Gary Jansen combines Ignatian meditation with Saint John Paul II's special biblical Way of the Cross. The result is a heart-wrenching look at the mystery of the suffering we all carry and an intimate journey to Calvary with Jesus. Jansen's gem of a book is filled with fresh, practical insights into what it really means to "take up your cross each day" and follow Jesus. If you're looking for something to read for Lent--or just something to read because you're hurting--then look no further. This book is for you.
