About This Book

Life and death hang in the balance on crucifixion day. Christ carries his cross to Golgotha, ready to surrender his life for the redemption of mankind. His course is set. But He is not alone.

Standing Near the Cross takes you on a journey to meet the crowd who witnessed the crucifixion of the Saviour. Each of them has their own story to tell and with each chapter, intimate historical details will draw you closer to the foot of the cross.

In these pages, you will:

• Dive into the heart of redemption and experience its impact anew
• Deepen your understanding on the power of forgiveness
• Discover how God’s presence can provide comfort in times of trouble

Return to the cross and re-examine your relationship with Christ through the profound insights and timeless wisdom from the friends and enemies who surrounded the Lord while the sky darkened, and the world changed forever.
