About the Book

Experience Holy Week as if for the first time... first hand. Bestselling novelist and broadcaster Rhidian Brook invites you to step back into the story of Holy Week and see it unfold as if you were there. Told as a series of vivid, real-time eyewitness reports, Notes on an Execution takes you from Jesus' arrival in Jerusalem to his execution and beyond, without the cushion of hindsight. You stand among the crowds and disciples, experiencing each moment with all its original tension, shock and surprise - full of the confusion and hope felt by those who first encountered Jesus. A moving final reflection explores what Easter means for us today, with thoughtful questions for personal meditation or group discussion. Rooted in biblical accounts and historical insight, Notes on an Execution brings fresh life to a story that has shaped the world for two thousand years. Perfect for Lent reading, small groups or personal devotion, it will help you see the story you thought you knew with new eyes... and feel its urgency and wonder afresh.

Review :
'Rhidian Brook tells the story of Holy Week as you have never heard it before. He draws you into the inner life of the first followers of Jesus, reclaims Christianity as an adventure of the spirit, and brings the whole thing alive again. He is a master storyteller re-narrating the greatest story ever told.' 'In a contemporary informal style this eyewitness account invites the reader to walk with Jesus in his last days and experience anew the power of his resurrection. A vivid retelling which brings fresh life to a familiar story.' 'Rhidian's reflections offer a unique and deeply personal lens through which to experience the tumultuous final days of Jesus. By inviting us to "unknow what we know", he masterfully empowers his readers to walk alongside the disciples, feeling the bewilderment, the hope and the eventual sorrow and joy as events unfold. This book is not merely a recounting; it is an invitation to inhabit the story, making it a vital companion for anyone seeking a more immediate and heartfelt understanding of Christ's passion and resurrection.' 'Rhidian Brook writes with such understanding of the human condition about the Saviour who is both human and God. We find ourselves written into this universal story, and there are questions which must be answered. This interpretation of the Passion opens up new vistas of the soul's journey through life towards death.' 'With deft insight and lightness of touch Rhidian Brook lifts the Holy Week story from the reverence of the gospels and the solemnity of liturgy into direct and lively accounts of genuine interaction and moving encounter. This is an ideal account for a newcomer and a refreshing repristination for the over-familiar.'
