"Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps." 1 Peter 2:21 What must it have been like to draw near to Christ as he drew near to the cross? Reflecting on Michelangelo's majestic Pieta, in which Mary gathers the suffering Jesus into her arms, Ken Gire offers seven meditations on a costly discipleship that invites us to take up our cross and follow our Savior--through death to life everlasting.

"Gire is a wordsmith, a superb story teller, yet always with Christ at the centre. This is a book I will use next Holy Week. A prayer concludes each meditation, as well as a list of questions for reflection/conversation, so it could easily be used as a Lenten study. Finally, Gire's book makes me think about faith, of 'the unseen' if Gire could write a gem of a book without having seeing the moving Pieta, what does that say about our faith in whom we cannot see?"Rev. Barbara Allen, Insights, July 2012 "If there is such a thing as the gift of writing, it is my opinion that Ken Gire has it. Creative, colorful, lucid and easy to read, he has developed a firm grip on this elusive craft, much of which cannot be taught. In athletic terms, the man's a natural."Charles R. Swindoll "I eagerly await any book from the pen of Ken Gire. To me he has written some of the finest devotional thoughts and books in the past decade. His writing speaks to the heart, soul and mind."H. Norman Wright "I'm just a writer; Ken Gire is a real writer."Max Lucado
Ken Gire is the author of numerous books, including the Moments with the Savior series and Windows of the Soul.
