THE WORDS OF JESUS ON THE CROSS REVEAL THE HEART OF CHRISTIAN FAITH
With his characteristic method of relating Scripture to daily living, Dr. Chappell provides numerous illustrations—from everyday life, from personal experiences, from experiences of other ministers, from current world events, from other parts of Scripture, from history, from literature—that make the deep truths of the Crucifixion meaningful for present-day men and women.
