Beneath the Cross: The Stories of Those Who Stood at the Cross of Jesus

The ancient tale of death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is retold in the voices of those who knew him and who literally stood beneath his cross. Listen, and you will hear the Roman soldier crying, "truly this man was the Son of God!" Listen, and you will hear the risen Christ speaking words of comfort to confused disciples. These moving stories, interspersed through with the biblical passages upon which they are based, are richly illustrated with artwork reflecting centuries of Christian devotion as well as photographs of the modern-day sites where Jesus once walked. In this book, you can follow those who followed him, see their tears and hear their prayers, and know with them "the wonders of his glorious love".
