Hosanna to Hallelujah: 46 Steps to the Cross

This is not just a Lenten devotional-it’s a journey verse by verse through Matthew 21, where the drama of Holy Week comes alive in all its unexpected, subversive, and hope-soaked beauty. From the dust of Bethphage to the glory of resurrection morning, each day explores a verse, weaving Hebraic roots, insights from ancient rabbis and early church fathers, and down-to-earth, cross-centered application with a narrative, pastoral touch. You’ll (re)discover Jesus as King, Prophet, Healer, Suffering Servant, and Risen Lord, walking with Him through acts of obedience, moments of confrontation, holy disruptions, and radical reversals. Along the way, you’ll see the themes of Lent-humility, repentance, loss, and lavish grace-set within the lush vineyard of God’s promises and the brilliant light of resurrection. Whether you’re new to Lenten practice or a seasoned pilgrim, this book offers forty-six daily reflections filled with wit, warmth, and wonder, inviting you not just to read the story, but to be drawn into it. Find your own place in the crowd, on the road, at the table, and, ultimately, at the empty tomb.
