Reviews / Votes
...accurate exposition, lively illustration and contemporary application... -- David Coffey, President of the Baptist World Alliance After reading this book, I was forced to ask, which of the characters of the cross looks most like me? -- Gordon MacDonald, Author This excellent book makes the Passion come alive by opening up the lives of the people we thought we knew so well. -- Joel Edwards, General Director, Evangelical Alliance, UK I highly recommend it to you, and I plan to draw richly from it in my future Lenten preaching! -- John Huffman Beautifully written and attractively presented, this book takes the reader to the only place where God will meet us - at the front of the Cross. There we find ourselves confronted by Judas, by Herod and Pontius Pilate, by Mary Magdalene, Nicodemus and others, with a startling vividness that compels us to take sides. -- Richard BewesMore details
