Because of its unique meaning and the intense emotions it invokes  Holy Week brings high expectations on the part of congregations and places unusual demands on those who deliver the messages. It takes a specially gifted preacher to communicate the profundity of Christs Passion and its supreme relevance for our contemporary world. Fleming Rutledge is just such a preacher. Heralded by congregations and peers alike as one of todays most compelling and powerful Christian voices  Mrs. Rutledge is also a best-selling author whose previous collections of sermons have touched readers deeply. This new volume  representing twenty-five years of Holy Week and Easter preaching  offers a wide-ranging vision of the Cross and Resurrection that will inform and inspire committed believers and serious seekers alike. Divided into seven sections that progress through Holy Week from Palm Sunday to Good Friday to Easter and on through Eastertide  these sermons incorporate the biblical themes of sacrifice for sin  vicarious suffering  victory over evil and death  and the new creation arising out of eternal love. Many of these sermons are brand-new; others - especially those for Good Friday - have been rethought and reworked over a period of years. None have ever been published before. All of them consistently display Mrs. Rutledges startling ability to bridge the message of the ancient biblical texts with the distinct needs of modern people. Intellectually engaging  pastorally wise  and beautifully written  The Undoing of Death is accented with thirty-three artistic masterpieces depicting the events of Holy Week  making it a feast for the eye as well as the soul.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44952320737333,"sku":"ByrdShop_080283969X","price":227.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780802839695.jpg?v=1770159520","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-undoing-of-death-sermons-for-holy-week-and-easter","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
