Derek Maul beckons you to join him on a devotional pilgrimage through Lent and to engage in a sacred daily rhythm. You’ll walk with Jesus on the dusty path from Bethany to the gates of Jerusalem, listening to his words of grace, hope, and challenge as he moves toward the Cross. Reaching Toward Easter features 47 meditations, taking you from Ash Wednesday through Easter Day and into the “Eighth Day.” Using the Gospel narrative from John 12–20, Maul guides you to journey with Jesus from Bethany to Jerusalem. Maul’s hope is that you will “arrive at Holy Week refreshed rather than tired, inspired rather than discouraged, reflective rather than overwhelmed.” By the time you reach Easter, your pilgrimage will have prepared you to live as an “Eighth Day Believer”—a true follower of Jesus. 6-week study for individuals or groups Includes a Leader’s Guide
