Last Words: Seven Sayings from the Heart of Christ on the Cross

Jesus's words in Scripture capture who he was and what he was about. His last words on the cross, over two thousand years ago, offer gospel hope for our spiritual journeys today.

In this powerful, moving book, author Robert J. Nash explores a fresh perspective on a familiar event, guiding readers into the forgiveness, hope, comfort, and compassion of Christ's words in his final moments on earth.

While pivoting history, Jesus graciously offers encouragement for Christians today and hope for seekers looking for significance in his death. In this glimpse into the heart of Jesus, Nash helps men and women find historical truths about Jesus's love for the church in his death and resurrection.

Last Words includes a reflection section for small groups and a devotional prayer at the end of each chapter to help readers relate to God. For easy reference, men and women can find a Scripture index in the back of the book.

Come and ponder the wisdom of Christ and see for yourself a new view of the cross.

Journey to the Cross: Devotions for Lent

As Christians, we know that Easter is perhaps the most important day of the year. But when we wake up on Easter Sunday, we often struggle to grasp the significance of the day and find ourselves on the outside of the celebration looking in.

Journey to the Cross moves us closer to the heart of Easter through forty days of Bible readings, prayers of confession and thanksgiving, and daily devotional readings. This forty-day devotional takes a deeper look into six central themes of the Christian life: repentance, humility, suffering, lament, sacrifice, and death. Journey to the Cross moves beyond “doing penance” and helps Christians focus on Christ’s sacrifice for us—the real meaning of Easter and the reason we celebrate.

Journey to the Cross serves as a combined liturgical guide and devotional—presenting a call to worship, confessional, gospel reading, and daily devotional with application. This compact devotional guide meets the needs of Christians who want to prepare their hearts for Easter but don’t know how, and it answers the growing desire of many to be connected to the broader history of the church.

At its heart, Lent is all about Jesus—his suffering and sacrifice, all powered by his love for his people. Taking the time to meditate on the cross will give readers the opportunity to re-center their hearts, reframe their lives, and rekindle their love for Christ this Easter.

    Great books for any season - but especially for Lent

    Posted by Rob on 02 23 2021

    I had read “Last Words” already and when I saw this bundle I quickly picked up a set for my wife and kids. We’re reading through them both this season and I am growing closer to Christ and my family because of them. I can’t recommend them enough.

    Last Words And Journey, ... Bundle, Recommended!

    Posted by Brother Michael, OSL on 02 11 2020

    I RECOMMEND BOTH Books, this "bundle" offer at this price is a value for most individuals and churches. I'm using "Last Words" as a Study with a group (mostly new Christians) for Lent and "Journey to the Cross" for my, and their personal daily devotional time through the forty days of the Lenten Season. I love the 'liturgical' layout of each devotion and found it enriching among other devotionals on my shelves; this dwarfed them in both style and content. Careful, New Growth Press, ... you may just become my new favourite publishing house for Christian books and teaching materials. Rev.
