Frederick Leahy never fails to warm my heart and soul with his meditations on the Cross, the sufferings, death and triumph of our Saviour, the Lord Jesus. When I read his writings, I see Jesus more clearly. I am indebted to him for this, and thankful to God.

The book is a clear and compelling examination of what Christ's death means. It explores different aspects of that incident, including a little-discussed aspect like the opening of the graves after his resurrection. And far from being a mere theological analysis, every page rings with a passionate appeal for the reader to consider the message of the Cross and surrender to the One who hung on it for the sins of the world. I heartily recommend it.

Leahy’s 3 that I’ve read, published by Banner of Truth, are all must reads. They are all heartily challenging and focused on the cross, highly encourage you to read them all:
The Cross He Bore
Victory of the Lamb
Is it Nothing to You?

Besides meditating on all the facets of the cross, I especially liked the comparison the author makes between Jesus and Barabbas.
