In this updated and expanded version of the popular original, Tom Houston brings to life each of the characters involved in the death of Jesus on the cross. He provides us with insights into the historical context of each character and encourages us to imagine the impact that their encounter with Jesus would have had on their lives.
I have read this book before and wanted to reread it during lent. The book takes a closer look at the characters that were around the cross during Jesus's death. We look at what the different people may have been thinking/feeling, there are Bible references to help point out what we know about these people, and we see how we can see these folks in our own lives.
