That the creator of the world would meet with us in the person of Jesus Christ, entering into the depths of our human tragedy, is nothing short of remarkable. That we would likewise enter into the death of the Son of God and join in his risen life, to be made part of the new creation to come, has been described as a great and sweet exchange.
Join the author on a journey spanning seven decades and thousands of miles, as a pathway of prayer—the Jesus Prayer—unfolds to lead us more fully into this ‘great exchange.’
