Final Words From the Cross: From the Cross Description
In life and in death, Jesus’ words were powerful and meaningful. Despite the serious effort and increased pain required for Jesus to speak as he hung on the cross, Jesus spoke seven “final words”—statements that have much to teach us about Jesus, his Father, and ourselves:
Father Forgive Them
Behold Your Son…Behold Your Mother
My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me?
Today You Will Be with Me in Paradise
I Thirst
It Is Finished
Into Your Hands I Commit My Spirit
In 24 Hours That Changed the World, Adam Hamilton took us on a Lenten journey through the last day of Jesus' life. Now in this inspiring follow-up book, Hamilton explores these final words as seen and heard through the eyes and ears of those who stood near the cross.
Each chapter begins with the biblical account followed by a first-person story as might have been told from the viewpoint of one of the characters at the cross. Then the chapter explores the meaning of Jesus’ dying words for our lives today. Following the last statement, a postscript recounts the words Jesus spoke following his resurrection, including what truly were the final words Jesus spoke while walking this earth.
Join the crowd now and experience the final words from the cross.
Final Words from the Cross offers six chapters/sessions plus a postscript chapter/session, so that classes have the option of a seventh session on Easter Sunday.

As with his other study series (The Journey, 24 Hours That Changed the World), David Hamilton has written a beautiful 6-part study of Christ's Last Words(from the Cross). A video, also available, with excerpts from sermons on these words extends each study beyond the book's printed words. I have found I learn something new or gain new insights from every one of his studies. A Leader's Guide is an excellent resource for preparing a group study on this book.

I liked this book it does an excellent job looking at the history of Jesus last words. It is however not as well written as other works by this author. I have come to expect more from Adam Hamilton. But I would still recommend this book to people who have read 24 Hours that Changed the World and wanted more in depth study of the cross.
