All the Way to Calvary

Author: David Petterson
Publisher: John Ritchie LTD
Calvary. The word is found only once in Scripture. Most of us have never toured the actual site and since there is debate about the site's location, those who think they have visited Calvary may never have been there at all. But for all those who have trusted Chist as Saviour, we have indeed been to Calvary. In our meditations, Calvary is undoubtedly the most frequented place on earth. Hardly a day passes without thinking about our Lord and the steps that took Him there. It was the greatest journey ever traversed, unrivalled in distance, personal suffering and eternal significance. Indeed, our lives will never be the same because of the Man who left His throne in Heaven for a cross on earth.

This book traces Jesus' pathway, from the predictions He made of His passion to the yielding up of His life while hanging on the tree. Attention is focused on our Lord's final hours and final words, with an attempt made to harmonise as much material from the Gospels as possible, setting events in chronological fashion.

Any book written about Christ's cross will have its limitations, and this brief work is certainly no exception. But it is the author's prayer that these twenty short chapters will prompt us to deeper worship and greater devotion to the One who went all the way to Calvary for us.
