No other week in all of history has impacted humanity more than the events of Holy Week.
That extraordinary week begins with an act of generous devotion'''a young girl unwittingly anoints her Rabbi Jesus for burial. In the ensuing days, his own people plot to kill him in the most humiliating manner possible, on a Roman cross.
But it is the Rabbi who charts his course to that cross with implacable resolve. He enters Jerusalem at the start of that week as a triumphant king; he teaches about his kingdom with uncompromising zeal in the temple courts; and he boldly confronts and shames his oppressors—acts that make his enemies even more determined to destroy him. When one of his beloved followers betrays him for a few coins, the Romans indeed nail him to a cross.
The cross is not the end of the story. In the darkness of the tomb, Jesus draws a life-giving breath and walks into the dawn, securing victory over sin and death for all who will receive it.
The Great Drama of God is the story of Holy Week told through the voice of six eyewitnesses—Martha, Judas, Peter, John Mark, Malchus, and Gershom. In her tenth novel, acclaimed author Patti Hill immerses the reader in the story of God’s redemptive plan—seven days that changed how humanity will live, die, and hope forever.
