Let us follow our dear Lord Jesus as he travels the Way of the Cross. He is asking us to follow him. Are you afraid? Jesus himself was afraid to walk this painful journey, but out of love for us, he did so. So for love of him, we follow.
This fully illustrated version of the traditional Stations of the Cross contains new meditations by children's author Regina Doman (Angel in the Waters) along with:
- Scripture verses that point to each station
- traditional prayers attributed to St. Francis of Assisi and St. Alphonsus Liguori
- lyrics to the traditional hymn “Stabat Mater” ("At the Cross Her Station Keeping") in both Latin and English
- a feature that gives historical and scriptural lessons concerning the tradition of walking the Way of the Cross
- and a final prayer that ties the stations to Eucharistic Adoration throughout the liturgical year
Detailed pictures compliment the text and allow the reader to follow Christ and His Mother as they make their way through the streets of Jerusalem on the way to Calvary.

An effective devotional booklet
We and our kids like using these to pray Stations during Lent, and the historical or exegetical background notes for each Station enhance our appreciation of the devotion. The illustrations are also very effective, and the kids like trying to find the roosters. We did spot a few typos here and there, though, and in one place an internet URL is printed over a portion of a drawing. Hopefully in future printings all of those will be corrected.

I bought this book because
I bought this book because I’m a big fan of Chris Lewis’ illustrations but the little details all around the image really got a lot of interesting discussions going with my very small children. Definitely a unique and worthwhile book to stoke interest and learning in the Stations.

Beautiful Illustrations and Reflections: Will Definitely keep kids' attention!
This book is a wonderful resource to help kids pray the Stations of the Cross. It’s packed with detailed illustrations of each scene, references from Scripture, further explanation of the scene and reflection on what the people were doing and experiencing, a prayer asking for the virtues we learn from the Station as well as the prayer by St. Alphonsus Liguori and excerpts from the 13th century Latin hymn to Our Lady describing her experience as she suffered alongside her Son. Further insight into the Scripture (including foreshadowing prophecy from the Old Testament) and additional detail about the Catholic Devotion of the Stations offer deeper participation and understanding of this journey with Jesus through His Passion. The illustrations beautifully articulate the scene, while not unduly graphic or disturbing for sensitive kids. There is so much information and different threads of prayer and reflection to follow throughout the Stations, that kids will learn something new every time! The book will definitely help to keep their attention throughout the prayer and reflection. The reflections are specifically geared to kids, without compromising, dumbing down, or softening Jesus’ Sacrifice for our sins. The side-bar of text offers deeper insight into the events and parts of Jesus’ Passion. The reflections help us to recognize our Lord’s Love for us, while challenging kids to follow and serve Jesus; to be kind to others, and to be grateful for His Suffering for us.

Beautiful for Kids and Adults!!!
Listen. Devotional material for children doesn't have to be juvenile. In fact, I would argue that the less juvenile the better. My children are more attracted to the intricate and the traditional than they are to the simplified and the simple and the 80s cartoonish. When we dumb down children's devotional material we’re disrespecting their dignity and their capacity for understanding - which we often underestimate and is greater than we think. And that is why I love this new Stations of the Cross from TAN books! It is absolutely, stunningly, gorgeous. It's a pleasure for both me and my children to look upon. The stunning illustrations draw children and adults into the devotion. The reflections help children understand and enter into the station they are contemplating while they look at the rich and in-depth illustrations. When I first saw that this book was being released, it was instantly drawn to it as a resource for my children. And when it arrived, I opened the package and literally screamed for joy! My children ran and gathered around me, and “ooh”ed and “aahed” at the beautiful cover of this book. They begged to see it and my little one just sat and stared at the pictures, even though she can't yet read the accompanying meditations. This will be a beautiful resource for our family for reflecting on the Stations of the Cross in our home. If you have children of any age, this book will be a beautiful blessing for them and their spiritual life!
