“And the Angels Were Silent” by Max Lucado
Max Lucado’s best-selling book, “And the Angels Were Silent,” is a poignant look at the final week of Jesus’ life. While the story begins in Jericho and ends at the vacated tomb, Lucado skillfully weaves modern-day figures into his story.
What does a Chicago gangster have in common with Lazarus’s sister, Mary? How does General Eisenhower assuming blame for a failed offensive compare to Jesus seizing the sin of mankind? Each chapter shows that sacrificial love happens today just as it did more than 2,000 years ago.
While writing this book, Lucado journeyed to Jerusalem to walk the path where Jesus walked just before his crucifixion. He takes readers on this journey with amazing stories and pertinent scripture readings. A study guide with thought-provoking questions is a bonus chapter.
