Walking the Way of Sorrows: Stations of the Cross
Morehouse Publishing, 2003

Each year on Good Friday, Christian congregations all over the world walk the Stations of the Cross, a commemoration of Jesus' walk to Calvary. In Walking the Way of Sorrows, artist Noyes Capehart and writer/journalist Katerina Whitley provide a fresh resource for congregations and individuals who want to explore the meaning of these Stations more deeply. Capehart's stark and powerful blockcuts of the fourteen Stations are accompanied by monologues from the point of view of someone at each station. These monologues, along with biblical references and a brief liturgy, are excellent for individual devotion, but can also be used by groups who walk the Stations together. (Amazon.com)

 

 

New Book Easter 2012!

Katerina's next book is different from her previous five. Instead of focusing on biblical stories she focuses on Greek food; there is a connection, but you will have to read the book to find it out.

Titled "Around a Greek Table" the cookbook includes 100 Greek recipes and many stories about family, Greek culture, and the church seasons as observed in Greece. The publisher, Globe Pequot Press/Lyons Press, hopes to have it in bookstores April 3, 2012.
