Father Joseph Champlin adapts the Stations from the ones used by Pope John Paul II at the Roman Colosseum on Good Friday 1991.

There are 15 stations, including the Resurrection. Based on the events in the Gospels, each station is accompanied by specific Gospel readings. Each of the prayer responses is taken from a portion of the psalms. Father Champlin includes new stations, in addition to some of the traditional ones.

Popular author Fr. Joseph M. Champlin offers opportunities for guided reflection, sharing, and prayer that reinforce many of Pastor Rick Warren's points with additional commentaries on areas in which Catholic teaching varies. A Catholic Perspective on the Purpose Driven Life is a companion guide that follows Warren's forty-day process.
