  This personal journey of discovery in the final chapters of John's Gospel, begins with with Jesus raising his friend Lazarus from the dead and then starting on the road to Calvary. In a series of accessible reflections, the author delves into these chapters to help us discover what it means - and what it costs - when we choose to follow Jesus on the road. The book of John is in many ways the most demanding, yet one of the best-loved, of the Gospels. Many Christians may be so familiar with the words that the great theological arguments behind them can be overlooked, while those reading for the first time may equally miss out on the deep truths. The author divides chapters 11-21 of John's Gospel into 24 sections, each taking a passage of the Bible text and unpacking it. She includes thoughtful illustrations from her own experiences as well as the wider world.
