Publisher Description

The cross.

It rests on the time line of history. Like a compelling diamond…

Its tragedy summons all the sufferers…

Its absurdity attracts all cynics…

Its hope lures all searchers.

Far more than a gold-plated symbol of religious belief, the cross is the centerpiece of the Christian faith—the meeting place of time and eternity. Where God and man encounter each other.

Max Lucado takes you through the drama of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ—bringing to life Peter's denial, Pilate's hesitancy, and John's loyalty. Relive the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion, from the foggy garden of Gethsemane to the incandescent room of the resurrection.

No Wonder They Call Him the Savior leads you up the hill of mankind's highest hope and reminds you why he deserves to be called our Savior.

"A great, refreshing new look on the various stories surrounding the greatest day in history. Lucado does a wonderful job retelling the stories of those who encountered the cross and those who are still encountering the cross. It was a great reminder of just how powerful this event was."
