Simple, short, yet well written, and contains deep thoughts about the cross of Christ.
This is an easy read, but a profound book. Michael Card shows the same depth of insight that shows up in his song lyrics in this easily read book about the crucifixion of Jesus. I try to read this one every Lent in preparation for Good Friday. A small treasure.
