An honest and moving book that looks at the reality of suffering, offering hope and encouragement.

Following the journey of Jesus towards the Cross, Sheila Cassidy encourages the reader to walk alongside him and her 'Good Friday people' - a group of sinners and saints called to share in the sufferings of Christ. Some of them are victims of violence like Archbishop Romero and others caught up in oppression in El Salvador, while others suffer physical illness like David, a boy with a brain tumour and Suzi Lovegrove, a woman with AIDS.

Sheila Cassidy is perhaps best known as the young doctor imprisoned and tortured for treating a wounded revolutionary in Pinochet's Chile. On her release and return to England, she became an outspoken advocate for human rights and the author of the international bestseller Audacity to Believe.
