A meditation on the meaning of Good Friday and the value of silence.Good Friday is not like any other time of the year and Christians everywhere wonder about the best way to mark the day. Again and again sermons and meditations have centered our attention on the words Jesus spoke from the cross but those few brief words would have needed only a few minutes on the first Good Friday. Seven chapters in this unique book consider the event and the meaning of the Crucifixion to our lives today including the various ways in which silence plays a role in our daily lives.So many of us are overwhelmed with words coming at us from all our electronic devices that the thought of more language has less appeal than it once did.
