Summary: Nicely Done
Comment: As I understand it, this book is a composition of a sermon series that Lucado delivered to his church. I think this would have been quite a sermon series to listen to live.
Lucado does a good job of combining everyday examples of life with the imagery of the cross to paint a compelling picture of God's love as demonstrated by sending the perfect lamb of Jesus Christ to live among sinful beings and to die on their behalf only to conquer the grave and be physically resurrected for the world to see. When I first started reading this book, I was frankly a bit skeptical of Lucado's premise - that the individual components of the cross themselves have meaning in terms of comprehending God's love. But this book got me thinking about this premise, and reminded me and reenforced within me a timeless truth. In all creation, God's perfection, beauty, love, and omnipresence are evident if we take the time to look. The Creator is distinct from the creation, but the creation reflects the Creator. And while reading Lucado's book, it dawned on me that if we accept this premise, then why can't the nails, wood, thorns, etc of the crucifixion provide insights into God's character if the rest of creation does? The answer I came to is that Lucado's premise makes sense, and the ideas he puts forth are very compelling within that context.
Whether Lucado's ideas in and of themselves can be regarded as theological truth is somewhat open to interpretation. But in my view, his ideas taken as a whole most definitely support and reenforce a long held theological truth - that God's love knows no competition because it far surpasses anything that human beings are capable of expressing. God's love can be imperfectly emulated, but it cannot be duplicated. Lucado's book eloquently speaks to this truth, and provides great comfort for those of us who have recognized His love by accepting Christ. And the book provides compelling reasons for those who haven't yet accepted Christ to seriously contemplate the love and forgiveness that is waiting for them to experience by coming to faith in Christ. A very good book.

Summary: Another Great one By Max Lucado!!
Comment: I will have to say this is one of the best books that I have read by Max Lucado! His use of what at first glance seems to be ordinary things associated with the death of Jesus Christ makes you realize just how important each one of those parts played.
He uses the nail, the crown of thorns, the clothes that were taken from Jesus, the clothes that were put on him, the two other crosses beside him, and even the soldiers spit to explain the many things that had to happen to bring us salvation. Max explains this in such great detail that you feel like you were actually present.
Every Christian needs to read this book. We all know that Jesus suffered on Calvary but you will finish this book with a newfound appreciation for what our Heavenly Father went through just to win our hearts! Run, don't walk and buy your copy today. You won't be sorry!

Summary: Always Outstanding!!!!
Comment: I just finished reading this book and Max Lucado, as always, has written another outstanding book. He analyzes the symbolism of the three crosses, the nails and the actual crucifixion of our Lord Jesus Christ. His use of imagery in the book is second to none as you feel as if you were actually present during the actual event. I have walked away with a deeper understanding and appreciation for what God chose to do for me (and you) because of His love. You MUST read this book!
