I’m looking forward to the first performance this Lent/Easter season of “The Centurion’s Report” on Sunday, at Café Church in downtown Kingston, Ontario.

“The Centurion’s Report” is my own one-man, four-act drama. It’s the story of our Lord’sPicture Cent-helmet passion, but it’s told from a different point of view, the viewpoint of the centurion who witnessed Christ’s death upon the cross. It was this man who is quoted in Matthew’s gospel as saying, “Truly, this was the Son of God” (Mt. 27:54).

Over the years, countless lives all across the continent have been changed by the Spirit as they have witnessed this portrayal of the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord. Have you been to the cross lately? Every man, woman and child needs to visit there.

“The Centurion’s Report” also led me to write the award-winning biblical novel, “The Soldier Who Killed a King“.  Trust me on this point. There is no higher drama than the drama of the cross and the resurrection. Don’t miss out on participating in it this year.

Those who faithfully follow my blog posts will realize that they span the entire Book of Psalms, from Psalm 1 through to Psalm 150. In total there are 365 devotional posts, one for every day of the year.

Later this year Elk Lake Publishing will publish these devotions in book form under the title, “365 Days through the Psalms,” with the subtitle, “Developing a Life of Biblical Worship and Prayer.” More information will follow as we get closer to the release date expected this summer.

In the mean time, those who want to dig deeper into the Psalms may enjoy my previous book on the Psalms, “Psalms Alive! Connecting Heaven and Earth.”

“Psalms Alive!” is more of a study book than a daily devotion. Each chapter begins with a Psalm reading, but unlike a daily devotion, the commentary that follows doesn’t end after a page. Each chapter is five to six pages in length and then ends with a series of discussion questions or suggested activities to bring that psalm to life. This is ideal for a weekly small group study, or simply for personal application.

As for my daily devotional posts on the Psalms, they will resume on Monday with Psalm 1. Anything worth doing once is well worth repeating, especially when it draws our attention to the Word of God.
