Mary, mother of Jesus. Pilate, Governor of Judea. Gabriel, angel of the Lord. All were witnesses to the darkest day in history. They watched it happen. Could they have stopped it? Should they have stopped it? And more importantly, where do they go from here? Once Upon a Friday is a gripping drama by John R. Ford, stories that may change the way you look at the day Jesus died.

Peter denied Him. Judas betrayed Him. Pilate condemned Him. Each played a role in the most pivotal event in history: the crucifixion of Jesus. But what do their stories have to say to us today? In a dramatic presentation ideal for the sermon element of a Sunday morning worship or an evening service, Three Views to a Cross places the listeners inside the day that changed everything.

In the Land of Shades, a shadowy place dominated by foreboding, a shaft of light cuts into the top of a mountain. It is said that, many centuries ago, the Shining One ascended there. It is also said to be the place where residents of the Land must go to reach final peace. Accompanied by their guide, five recently deceased travelers face the hazards of the mountain and set out for the Light, learning to rely on one another and confronting their past failures along the way.
