Publisher's Description

The cross.

It rests on the time line of history. Like a compelling diamond ...

Its tragedy summons all the sufferers ...

Its absurdity attracts all cynics ...

Its hope lures all searchers.

Far more than a gold-plated symbol of religious belief, the cross is the centerpiece of the Christian faith -- the meeting place of time and eternity. Where God and man encounter each other.

Max Lucado takes you through the drama of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ -- bringing to life Peter's denial, Pilate's hesitancy, and John's loyalty. Relive the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion, from the foggy garden of Gethsemane to the incandescent room of the resurrection.

No Wonder They Call Him the Savior: Experiencing the Truth of the Cross - eBook 3 5 1 1

Expectations Met I'll start with a bit of a disclaimer: This is the first full-length book by Lucado I've read. I've read several shorts. I've received lots of "freebies" in the mail at church (with the hope by the marketers that we'd buy 100s of these for give-aways) for Mother's Day and Father's Day and Easter. I also received this via BookSneeze.com as an ebook, one of the first I've ever read "cover to cover" in this format (I used Nook for Mac). All in all, it was a pleasant experience and a pleasant read. I don't think there was anything "stunning" within it. I've read many books on the Cross of Christ and didn't find anything aberrant or heretical within it's digital pagesÃ¢ÂÂÃ¢ÂÂI didn't expect to. Lucado is one of those Christian authors who is solid, as far as I know. If only more evangelical pastor/authors would stay as well grounded, we'd have better churches and better books. But I digress. If I had a rating system of five stars, five being the absolute best and one being a bag o' rocks, I'd rate this at a three. I don't think you'll go wrong if you get this book and read it. If you're a fairly recent convert, this would be a good start for you at getting a handle on the central position which the Cross plays in all of Christianity. If you've been a follower of Christ for several years, this is good for review purposes. If you're a mature Christian, you'll probably find Lucado's style engaging, but you will have read other books that take you deeper into the theology of the Cross. John Stott's "The Cross of Christ" would be one that comes to mind and I'd highly recommend (although the final couple of chapters get a little wobbly, even for Stott). Lucado's work takes you to the Cross through a variety of means: words, witness and wisdom. He seeks to make sure the reader knows, without a doubt, that the Cross is what really matters when it comes to believing in Jesus Christ. Apart from the Cross, you don't have Christianity. So, from that standpoint, Lucado is dead-on. The book also comes with a reader's guide at the end. This might help a reader delve deeper, or possibly use this is some form of small group study. I don't mean to seem ambivalent about this book; it just didn't enthrall me. I know that there are many who adore everything this author turns out. Good for them; I'm glad they enjoy him. I just happen to be one who was just kind of middlin' about it. January 24, 2012
