And Then He Called My Name

My husband and I read Richard Exley's And Then He Called My Name last year for the first time just before Easter. We read one chapter a night outloud together and finished it just in time to celebrate Easter Sunday. If you're feeling like we did that the real meaning was being lost by the commercialism of a giant Bunny Rabbit, please read this book.This book made me experience the emotional impact of all those who were in contact with Jesus at the time of his walk up Calvary Hill for our sins,people such as Judas Iscariot, Pontius Pilate, Barabbas, and even our Heavenly Father himself. I couldn't finish a single chapter without tears streaming from my eyes. It made me see how much I truly loved Jesus and what a price he paid for my sins.Thank you, Richard Exley, for bringing the true meaning of Easter to our family. It's now a family tradition to read And Then He Called My Name every year at Easter to bring the love of our Savior closer to our hearts.

And then HE Called My Name

This book brings the crucifixion alive. I learned things about the death of Christ that I never learned growing up in my Church...it deepened my perspective on the death of our Savior. I would love to share this book with anyone that would take time to read it.

Takes you back to the cross

One of the most profound books I've ever read. If I wasn't saved I would have committed my life half-way through the book. Mr. Exley took me to Calvary vicariously, I experienced the feeling of every person involved with Christ.I cried with Mary, being a parent of a son I envisioned this was my son and how I would feel. As my tears flowed I thanked God that he loved me enough to send his son to a dying world, I could never do that.Anyone who reads this book will have an exprience of a lifetime, nothing will get you closer to Calvary than, AND THEN HE CALLED MY NAME.I have allowed others to enjoy this novel, unfortunately I have not received it back. However, I will purchase another because there are others I feel could benefit from this book.This is a must read for every Christian, and then they should share it with any non-believeing friend. It is a true witnessing tool.No matter how many books you read, don't let this one pass you by. Praise God for Richard Exley

Touching, seemingly true account of the passion of our Lord.

An accounting of the last days in the life of our Lord. These accounts are written as if they were true. While reading them you are drawn into the time of the real events; you feel the wonder, pain, confusion and love that the Lord generates during His passion. The explanations in the back help to explain those things that perhaps slip past you. It is a book that totally draws you in; you can't put it down.

Great Reading for Lent

The way this book is set up, with the "guest narrative" in the front, and the "Lessons" in the back, makes this extremely easy reading. But that's not to say it's simple-reading, by any means. The perspectives it gives of the people involved in the Passion Story is very thought provoking. As a priest it has given me many new ideas for my preaching. For a lay person as well, "And Then He Called My Name" will open up new insights into the power of Jesus suffering, death and resurrection.
