No Wonder They Call Him The Savior
Digital Logos Edition
Overview
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.

“have heard the voice of Jesus. Pilate stood eye to eye with him. Five times” (Page 93)
“And you are either on one side or the other. A choice is demanded. We can do what we want with the cross. We can examine its history. We can study its theology. We can reflect upon its prophecies. Yet the one thing we can’t do is walk away in neutral. No fence sitting is permitted. The cross, in its absurd splendor, doesn’t allow that. That is one luxury that God, in his awful mercy, doesn’t permit.” (Page 84)
“they were urgent, demanding with loud cries that he should be crucified” (Page 92)
“Value is now measured by two criteria, appearance and performance” (Page 38)
