The Isolated Jesus has many uses. The seven meditations were originally written for a three-hour Good Friday liturgy. The meditations may be adopted for Lenten study groups, for dramatization during mid-week Lent services or for special times during Holy Week.
The book includes a suggested order of service for a three-hour liturgy.
