About this audiobook
In his last week on Earth, Jesus knew the end was near. He knew the finality of Friday, but did he also know the victory of Sunday? Join bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado invites you to walk with Jesus in the week leading up to the crucifixion: feeling his passion, sensing his authority, and hearing his promise that death has no power.
On Calvary's Hill paints a picture of Jesus in his final week: Jesus was commonly dressed but uncommonly focused. Leaving Jericho and walking toward Jerusalem, he doesn't chatter or pause. He's on his final journey. Even the angels are silent. They know this is no ordinary walk or week--hinged on this week is the door of eternity.
With excerpts from Max's bestsellers, including 3:16, He Chose the Nails, and Just Like Jesus, On Calvary's Hill will take you into Jesus' last week, from the road to Jerusalem to the resurrection. Each reading includes a timeless verse, an in-depth reading, and a thoughtful prayer designed to help you draw near to the Savior and prepare to celebrate the resurrection--the greatest miracle ever conceived.
As we observe Jesus' last week, Max challenges us to face difficult questions, including:
- When betrayal comes, what can we do?
- Why is the cross a symbol of Christianity?
- What would it feel like to witness this scene firsthand?
Let's follow Jesus on his final journey. By observing his, we may learn how to make ours.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Inspirational and well written. I did and will continue to enjoy the prayers.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5..definitely pearls!A wonderful Lenten meditation that expounds with classic Lucado dichotomy-- complexity wrapped in deceptive simplicity. A treat of forty days’ reflections upon Christ’s journey towards Calvary and beyond. This is personal. As Lucado says, ‘We’ve all walked the street of Jerusalem in the shadows’. Each day is followed by a short, enlightening prayer. Amongst the gems of thought that struck me were:•the reflection on the materials and design of the cross•a brief consideration of the symbol of thorns•the relationship between mother and child for Mary and Jesus at this timeA thought provoking and gracious addition to my devotionals. A great gift at any time for teenagers up. A treasure to share with the whole family.A Netgalley ARC
