Description

Does life feel futile? Doesn't have to. Do some of your failures seem fatal? They aren't. And your death. Does the grave appear to be the final stop? According to Christ, your death is just the start of the something great. There is a truth greater than all the losses and sorrows of life. And it can be discovered in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In Six Hours One Friday, Max Lucado delves into the meaning of Jesus' last hours on the cross. Through his death, your life has purpose and meaning. You are forgiven and loved by a Savior who died for you. And an empty tomb proclaims that death does not have the final word. "Peace where there should be pain. Confidence in the midst of crisis. Hope defying despair. Does death have the last word? I can see Jesus wink as he gives the answer, Not on your life."… (more)

A book that should be read every Goodfriday. For those who still believe in silence during the three hour (or six) period, the book can be read easily in this time. It is definitly one of Max Lucado's best. It makes one feel as if they were there.

No matter what the storms in our lives bring, you can face your pain with courage and hope. For two thousand years ago-six hours, one Friday-Christ firmly planted in bedrock three solid anchor points that we all can cling to: 1) our lives are not futile 2) our failures are not fatal 3) our deaths

are not final.

Take a close look at the meaning of Jesus’s last hours on the cross at Calvary. His death means purpose and meaning for your life, thanks to the forgiveness and love of a Savior who gave His life for you.

Learn how to manage “Hurricane Warnings” [the storms of life] by anchoring deep. The

message woven throughout this narrative is that your life is not futile; failures are not fatal; your death is not final. With Bible verses, illustrations, and vignettes, the author focuses on the events of the final six hours of Jesus’s crucifixion and the effect it had on people. Everyday circumstances the reader might well experience are the basis for illustrating Biblical principles in the unfolding narrative, providing a thought-provoking, insightful remedy for futility, failure, and finality.

A study guide . . . particularly helpful for study groups . . . is included.

Highly recommended.
