An Unexpected Devotional
A 10-Day Reflection on Holy Week and the Passion of Christ
Holy Week is a story you think you know. But familiarity can be the enemy of wonder.
An Unexpected Devotional invites you to slow down and experience the Passion of Christ the way the disciples did — without knowing how it ends. Drawing on essays, poems, and stories from the cultural apologetics journal An Unexpected Journal, author C.M. Alvarez weaves together literature, imagination, and scripture to walk you through ten days that changed the world.
From Lazarus Saturday to Bright Monday, each day pairs a reflection with a companion reading, a personal prompt, and verses for meditation. Whether you’re a lifelong believer who’s lost the wonder, or someone taking a fresh look at the Christian faith, this devotional meets you where you are and invites you further in.
