Customer Reviews

Absolutely Incredible! A must have for any Christian or anyone interested in Christian Theology.

I came across this book at my local library. "Seven Last Words" focuses on the seven final sayings of Jesus Christ while dying on the cross. The author pulls these seven sayings from each of the gospel books and lays them out in chronological order. He then does a deep-dive into the meanings behind these seven phrases in such a way that it really humanizes Christ and shows us that he was not only fully divine but also fully human. It truly is an absolutely incredible book. It's relatively short too. I would suggest this book to literally anyone who is even remotely interested in Christian Theology.
