Nail, The: Being part of the Passion by Stephen Cottrell




  


The book is constructed around seven key gospel characters telling their part of the Easter story: Peter, the Roman centurian, Pontius Pilate, Ciaphas, Judas, Mary Magdalene, and Pilate’s wife. Each chapter is dedicated to one of these and includes a Gospel reading, an Old Testament reading,  an imaginative first-person reflection by the character, and a final poem of response.

I didn't enjoy as much as his Christmas book but it was readable with lots to think about - maybe because each chapter was so short.
It offers opportunities for pray and guidance to use within a church cell however I don't think you need to be Christian to enjoy the story.
