This series of devotionals written by Charles Martin is quite good. It is a little hard to follow and a tad bit too long each day. Otherwise, I think the content is excellent. I recommend this book to everyone wanting to consider the cross of Jesus and it's meaning during Lent next year.

Rarely do I read a book twice, but this one had me on my knees. It Is Finished: A 40 Day Pilgrimage Back to the Cross by Charles Martin is a definite read again worthy book. Forty days of reading about the events leading to the Cross which includes some historical perspectives is a wonderful way to prepare for Resurrection Sunday (Releasing Feb. 6th gives 7 weeks to prepare).

I will definitely be ordering this book so that I can highlight and reread over and over again.

Thank you so much NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Publishing for the opportunity to read an ARC.

I will be reading this book again so I better take it in. Reading quickly, so I could review the book, does it a disservice. The book is amazing and forces a response to The Cross.

It Is Finished: A 40-Day Pilgrimage Back to the Cross by Charles Martin is the perfect book to read as Easter approaches. I picked up this book because of the author, mostly. Mr. Martin is a master storyteller. His fiction novels are outstanding and his previous nonfiction has really shown his ability to bring the Bible to life. I could not wait to see what he did with the work of Jesus on the cross. I also wanted to read this book because it reminded me of my grandfather. My grandfather loved every part of the Bible but his very favorite parts were the words of Jesus on the cross. I really hoped to see this book deal with that. This book was so much more than I expected. The cross is brought to life with historical accuracy and power in ways that are easy to read and never stuffy or academic. I cannot recommend this book enough. I received a digital copy of this book from the publisher with no obligations. These opinions are entirely my own.

Thought provoking, deep, and profound. Just.... Wow. Charles wrote about things we wouldn't normally think about. It is Finished touched my heart and opened my eyes to things in Scripture that I didn't understand.
