"Pointing out that we must love one another, Lucado issues an impassioned plea to accept God's love in order to truly, unselfishly, whole-heartedly love another. This is no ordinary walk. Jesus doesn't chatter. He doesn't pause. He is on his final journey. He walks determinedly to the holy city, angrily into the temple, wearily into Gethsemane, painfully up the Via Dolorosa. And powerfully out of the vacated tomb. Master storyteller and best-selling...
