Starting today our church is reading through The Cross He Bore by Frederick Leahy. I first became aware of this book about a year ago and purposed to read it every year right before Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday. It is an incredible read and its aim is to challenge everyone to meditate on the sufferings of our Redeemer. Edward Donnelly writes in the foreword:
this book has three virtues: it provides solid instruction; gives full play to a disciplined and sanctified imagination; and it recalls the neglected art of meditation. He says further that "in rereading these chapters, I found myself more than once compelled by emotion to stop--and then to worship.
I'm praying that all our people at New Life Church will also be compelled to stop and worship our Redeemer as we journey together one chapter a day for 13 days!
