Summary

For believers worldwide, the events of Good Friday and Easter reveal essential truths about Christianity. Meacham explores the seven last sayings of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels. He combines rich historical and theological insights to reflect on the true heart of the Christian story. Meacham captures for the reader how these words epitomize Jesus's message of love, not hate; grace, not rage; and, instead of vengeance, extraordinary mercy. -- adapted from jacket
