Jesus Seven Words Our One Word
$11.99
“My God, my God . . .” This is the only cry of Jesus on the cross given us by Matthew and Mark of all Jesus’ seven statements. “Jesus’ Seven Words Our One Word” takes a serious look at all seven of Jesus’ statements and what they mean for people of any culture. Become thrilled and have your life changed by understanding the purpose of Jesus dying on the cross. Matthew, Mark, and Luke wrote their gospels at about the same time, shortly after those crucial events took place. John wrote his gospel sometime later, and effectively “crowned” the person and purpose of the Savior. That is the sequence chosen for this study. As you read through Matthew, Mark, Luke, and then John, author Ives sheds light on the need for the cross, the purpose of Jesus being in our midst in human form, and the depth of his love that drove him to die in our stead. May we have confidence that the Bible is the holy and perfect Word of God as the Holy Spirit guided each writer. May that confidence also extend to the Holy Spirit later directing the early church councils that assembled our Canon and presented the sequence we have today. The Holy Spirit has our attention by devoting one third of the gospels to Jesus’ Passion Week. And when your study is complete, you will say in grateful agreement with Ives and all the saints, “Hallelujah! It is finished.”

7 Last Words
$18.99Based on his talks at New York’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Good Friday 2015, the New York Times bestselling author and editor at large of America magazine offers a portrait of Jesus, using his last words on the cross to reveal how deeply he understood our predicaments, what it means to be fully human, and why we can turn to Christ completely, in mind, heart, and soul.
Each meditation is dedicated to one of the seven sayings:
*”Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”
*”Today you will be with me in Paradise.”
*”Woman, this is your son” . . . “This is your mother.”?
*”My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”?
*”I thirst.”?
*”It is finished.”?
*”Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.”With the warmth, wisdom, and grace that infuse his works, Father James Martin explains why Jesus’s crucifixion and death on the cross is an important teaching moment in the Gospels. Jesus’s final statements, words that are deeply cherished by his followers, exemplify the depth of his suffering but also provide a key to his empathy and why we can connect with him so deeply.
