The Seven Last Words

AUTHOR: Michael H. Crosby

This timeless book by the author of The Beatitudes,and The Prayer that Jesus Taught Us  is his most personal and poetic, full of reflections and challenge. The Seven Last Words reveals the powerful implications for contemporary followers of Jesus in the final words from the cross.

Crosby leads us into a meditation that reflects each word in the context of the Gospel, and of Jesus' time as well as ours. Every chapter includes an application of the word's enduring message, using particular examples ("ikons") from contemporary life that enflesh the word for readers today.

The Seven Last Words makes profound spiritual reading not only for personal Lenten reflections but for groups studying the scriptures and everyone concerned with making the scriptures come alive.
