Eden Christian Books Specialist

In the style of her bestselling Phoebe, Paula Gooder uses her extensive biblical expertise to retell the events of the Crucifixion, Resurrection and Ascension through the eyes of nine female characters she imagines accompanying Jesus during these momentous days.

Accompanied by nine colour illustrations, each story brings to life the tension, drama and shock of the events of Holy Week, banishing any over-familiarity and helping readers enter into the Passion narrative in a deeper, more meaningful way.

Originally given as a series of addresses at Southward Cathedral during Holy Week 2021, these nine stories are for all who long to encounter Jesus afresh through the Easter Story.

    The events of holy week through the stories of eight women. Interesting and thought provoking to see the familiar story from unfamiliar points of view.

    Once again Paula Gooder has written book that engages, educates and inspires those who read but have no formal theological training in their journey of faith. Ally Barrett's exquisite illustration add so much to the understanding of the text. The people in our Lent group are delighted especially as it is supported by a free podcast this providing a truly multisensory experience. Thank you

    What a great read. What amazing women. Introduced to people we didn’t really know about. It gives a more rounded insight into Holy Week. Would definitely recommend. I sat & read it without putting it down, just wanted to know about them. A must read.

    I have not read all the stories yet but the ones I have read give an in depth view of the context of the stories and the people who feature in them. Well worth reading and you feel as though you are there as things happen. The illustrations are striking and I find them very moving. Would like to be able to buy them individually or as a poster.

    This book gently tells of the women Jesus met and imagines them during the last week of his life. It's thought provoking and gives background information which is absorbed on the way. Would be good for reading aloud to groups, especially women's groups, and leaves one seeing life from a new perspective.
