Passion by Mike McKinley - 160 pages


I read and finished this during passion week but am just now able to review it.

McKinley walks the reader through the events and implications of the last day of Christ through the crucifixion to His resurrection.

There isn't much new or groundbreaking in this book, but don't let that make you think it isn't worth a read.  This book helps to focus on the crux and apex of the Gospel and reflect on how when believed and properly understood, those events affect everything about my present and future reality.

A great devotional read.

"You really are just like Barabbas!  You and I are sinners; we sit in a spiritual prison, bound helpless, awaiting the day where we get the just punishment that we deserve.  But then Jesus goes off to the cross in our place.  He gets what we deserve: we get what He deserves."  - p.79
