A summary of this book:

This book covers the events of the day in sequence on which the Lord Jesus was crucified and died. The book's purpose is to serve as an introduction to readers of the basic events of the day Christ died. Two questions are addressed in the book. First, how can the presence of Christ on the cross be accounted for? And secondly, what is the abiding spiritual significance of His death for mankind, even to the present day? He proceeds to answer these questions as events of the day unfold, as he looks in depth at the below topics and the various interactions that Jesus has with various individuals.
