With Easter approaching, pastors will be looking to books to encourage and inspire their preaching for that special day. One such volume is the new book To the Cross: Proclaiming the Gospel From the Upper Room to Calvary (IVP Books) by Christopher J.H.Wright. Wright draws on his scholarly insight and pastoral experience to lead the reader through the events of Jesus’ Passion, beginning with the Last Supper and ending at the cross. Of particular value to preachers is a closing chapter offering suggestions for preaching on these New Testament texts. If you haven’t already planned your Easter sermon series, this little book offers some big help.
