This is a wonderful book for Lent and Easter studying the seven last statements that Jesus made on the Cross.

The writer wants us to meditate on the Crucifixion of Christ, on His death, without which there could have been no Resurrection and without which there would be no redemption for us.

Each chapter is devoted to one of these seven statements, and in each case, Neuhaus shows how these words, spoken nearly two thousand years ago on a certain Friday afternoon in history, still impact our lives today. Great book!
