O Sacred Head, Now Wounded & 12 Things You (Probably) Didn't Know About Easter
O Sacred Head, Now Wounded: This rich collection of forty-eight daily readings begins at Easter (known in the early church as Pascha) and continues through Pentecost. This devotional will encourage you, individually or together with your family, to establish a posture of remembrance and gratitude as you reflect on what Christ has done through His temptations, life, trial, passion, death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and Pentecost.
Each daily reading follows a liturgical format and includes reading Scripture passages from the Old and New Testaments, reciting historical prayers, creeds, catechisms, and the Lord’s Prayer, among others.
The prayers and other content in O Sacred Head, Now Wounded were written by authors from throughout the centuries, including Thomas Aquinas, Augustine, Richard Baxter, Johnathan Edwards, J.C. Ryle, Isaac Watts, Martin Luther, and Thomas Watson, to name a few. Prayers are also drawn from the Book of Common Prayer and the Book of Public Prayer.
This hardcover book comes in a cloth, gold-embossed cover with three silk ribbons for placekeeping. It is the third book in the series that includes Be Thou My Vision and O Come, O Come Emmanuel.
Over the centuries, Easter has accumulated many lighthearted traditions, including hot cross buns, chocolate, colored eggs, and egg hunts. Twelve Things You (Probably) Didn’t Know About Easter explores the origin of these popular customs but, more importantly, explains to those unfamiliar with the Gospel why Easter marks the most significant event in human history!
Pastor and Truth For Life program announcer Bob Lepine unpacks the Gospel record to describe all that took place more than 2,000 years ago, including Jesus’ mock trial before the Jewish Counsel, His execution by Pilate on a Roman cross, and the many eyewitnesses that testified to the truth of His resurrection.
This brief, sixty-page book is written for you to give to a friend who has yet to know and trust in Christ. The clear, concise presentation of the Gospel’s historicity invites readers to learn more and serves as an excellent primer for a follow-up evangelistic opportunity.
“My desire is to give people far outside of church a better understanding of why we celebrate Easter and why it’s vitally important to understand these events.” — Bob Lepine
And yes, the book does explain how chocolate, colored eggs, and hot cross buns became part of our Easter traditions!
