Max Lucado weaves his insights of our master's love around two words "failure" and "forgiveness". He gives us a visual of our own missteps as well as of those with Jesus at the time of the crucifixion. We aren't so very different, though separated by two thousand years and by a world so fast paced as to not always see our shortcomings. The disciples could never have imaged a world such as the one we live in today. This book makes the connection of time. It makes you think about yourself faced with the same dilemmas of Pilate or the Apostles. What would I have done? I am certain I would have failed too. The wonder of it all is I would have been forgiven too. Like all Max Lucado's books you will find yourself down in the mud and by the end you find the way to be cleansed. I love the way he strings words and thoughts together like a song. They flow together making you stop to re-read them so you don't forget.
This book is a re-release from Thomas Nelson of one of Max Lucado's earlier books. It is worthy to bare his name, as is everything he writes!
