About this ebook
Travel with Adam Hamilton as he retraces the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Once again, Hamilton approaches his subject matter with thoughtfulness and wisdom, just as he did with Jesus’ crucifixion in 24 Hours That Changed the World and with Jesus’ birth in The Journey. Using historical information, archaeological data, and stories of the faith, Hamilton follows in the footsteps of Jesus from his baptism to the temptations to the heart of his ministry, including the people he loved, the parables he taught, the enemies he made, and the healing he brought.
Everything needed to conduct a 7-week study during Lent and Easter for ages 13-18. Use with the adult-level DVD.

Adam Hamilton is the founding pastor of the United Methodist Church of the Resurrection in Kansas City.
