Chronicles of the Cross

by Max Lucado

This volume includes three of Max Lucado's best-loved No Wonder They Call Him the Savior, Six Hours One Friday , and And the Angels Were Silent . In No Wonder They Call Him the Savior , best-selling author Max Lucado invites readers to meet the blue-collar Jew whose claim altered a world and whose promise has never been equaled. Readers will come to know Jesus the Christ in a brand new way as Lucado brings them full circle to the foot of the cross and the man who sacrificed His life on it. Then, in Six Hours One Friday , readers learn that they don't have to weather life's storms alone, but that God promises to be with them no matter what they are facing. He does this because of what happened in only six hours one Friday so many years ago. Finally, come face-to-face with the Savior during His final week on earth and learn about the loving purpose and deliberate intent that went into His every action, His every word in And the Angels Were Silent .

This was the first time I read anything by this fantastic author. I just L-O-V-E-D all of these. I L-O-V-E-D that there were 3 volumes contained in one place because of the continuity. I would recommend these works to anyone and everyone!

Max Lucado is a gifted and inspirational writer. I'm always encouraged by him and how he presents the word of God.

Three books in one binding is tough to review. I REALLY loved the last book, No Wonder They Call Him the Savior! What an exceptionally personal look at the crucifixion and the people directly impacted, including me. The other books were both good. That one was just better for me right now.

Lucado’s writing is always so easy to read because it is so conversational, but it is so difficult to get through because my heart is either convicted or yearning and my eyes are blurring with tears.

Amazing! Especially the final book. Wow...

[Jackie Lambert]

This book will put you at the foot of the cross. I could even feel Mary's pain. What a good author to stimulate all these feelings !

Excellent word

This book was a great retelling of the characters in the room with Jesus telling them to keep their eyes on the ground so that he can figure out how they do it.

It was a fine book. Not overly exiting but still good!

Max Lucado is a brilliant author. He has the gift of taking gospel miracles and turning them into modern day situations. I would recommend this book to anyone who really wants to walk in the footsteps of our Savior and see what was in His heart the last days of His life on earth as He was led to the cross.

[Tammie Lagimodiere]

very good book made me sit back and see the things I go through are small compared to what Jesus went through.....if people today really studied Jesus' last days then they would also see the things that they face are small compared to Jesus suffering
