If you've done an in-depth study in the life of Christ, particularly the crucifixion, Harris will show you it was not deep enough. Perhaps the highlight of the book is when He answered the long time paradox between Peter being used by Satan to divert Jesus from the cross and Satan using Judas to bring Jesus to the cross. In short, the answer was that Satan sought to tempt Jesus unto sin so he wouldn’t get to the cross but once it was clear he was headed there Satan's goal shifted to show more getting Jesus to despair in that darkest hour on Calvary. Harris draws a parallel between Jesus’ statement in the garden that tonight belongs to the powers of darkness (Lk. 22:53) and God handing Job over to Satan to unleash his most diabolic temptations. In both Job and the life of Christ, Satan was defeated by a man! The Christological typology is fascinating. This a very devotional read! show less
This is an amazing meditation on the sufferings of Christ and our fellowship with them, written by a pastor who experienced great suffering. Out of the midst of his personal darkness he was driven to dig deep in Scripture and we are all blessed by the fruits of his labor.
Some books on suffering are written to prepare us for suffering but may not be helpful for those currently in the midst of it. This book is written for those in the midst of suffering and I would highly encourage it to any show more Christian who finds themselves asking "Why" or who wonders about God's purposes in allowing suffering in their lives. show less

Did God Fulfill Every Good Promise?: Toward a Biblical Understanding of Joshua 21:43-45 by Gregory H. Harris
Some Bible students believe that God's promises concerning land to Abraham's physical descendants have already been completely fulfilled. Those who had to a 'fulfillment of the land promises' position often consider Joshua 21:43-45 as proof that God already fulfilled the land promise of the Abrahamic Covenant to the Jewish people. Consequently, one should expect no future fulfillment for either the land or the nation of Israel because of this passage. However, a proper understanding of show more Joshua 21:43-45 and the broader context of the Noahic and Abrahamic covenants show that it is incorrect to claim that a statement concerning God's faithfulness in Joshua means that God no longer is concerned with Israel and Israel's relationship to the land of promise. show less
