Calvary to Pentecost
The weekends that changed the world
50 devotionals to inspire you in your relationship with God and empower you in your ministry.
Whether a Christian for many years or a new believer, this small book will deepen your relationship with God.
The 50 devotional readings in this book explore the intrigue, tragedy and excitement of Calvary and Pentecost—two weekends that brought profound change to the world. The first was marked by Jesus’ death and resurrection, the next by the Holy Spirit’s presence and anointing. The climax and transitions represented by the events of these weekends—and the 50 days between—transformed the biblical narrative, reframed God’s involvement with us, gave birth to the church and released fresh opportunities for us to experience Him. Calvary prepared the way for Pentecost—and for us.
Calvary to Pentecost is perfect for individual study, an excellent discussion resource for small groups, churches and mission agencies—and a great gift idea to intentionally share the good news of Jesus with friends and neighbours.
Peter Roennfeldt (DMin) draws on the experience of his lifetime sharing the gospel, planting churches and serving as a pastor to pastors. Having lived in four countries and equipped church-planting teams in almost 60, Peter now lives in Melbourne, Australia, with his wife Judy, but continues to equip and coach church planters, pastors and movement leaders around the world.
"Yet another must read from Peter Roennfeldt. I love this book for its balance of deep devotional reflection and Biblical cultural context and background to each scene. With the format of one scene per page it is an automatic devotional tool to walk with Jesus from Calvary to Pentecost with fresh eyes and an open heart.” —Bill Hodgson, Power to Change, church movements, SHIFTm2M
“This book is awesome—readable, engaging, simple yet profound, and on point for our time!”—Terry Johnson, president, Australia Union Conference
“I have never read anything like this, relating to the full story of Pentecost not just the one day we often talk about. I read this book in one sitting and was touched and inspired. It was a spiritual journey. It amazes me how Peter Roennfeldt shares the story of Jesus with such passion—with such carefully chosen passages telling the core of the story.”—Atte Helminen, city pastor, ministry coach, church-planting facilitator, Finland
“This book will change your life and I recommend it to everyone. Until reading Calvary to Pentecost, I had not thought of the importance of this time-period. The way Peter Roennfeldt narrates the story brings it so close, making every word of Jesus so significant to me. The deep reflection questions will bring you closer to the presence of Jesus.”—Maveni Kaufononga, president, Trans Pacific Union Mission
