Review # 1 was written on 2015-08-18 00:00:00 Elijah Hodges While this book started out interestingly enough, I was soon largely turned off by the older, patronizing style of writing in which the author appears to address his readers as a bunch of 10 year-olds with learning disability. Also disagreed with some of the author's statements and speculative arguments. But there were a few nuggets scattered throughout the book and discovering these kept me reading to the end :)

Review # 2 was written on 2018-09-01 00:00:00 Ross Waldner Parts seemed overstated at first, but probably because they were emotionally jarring. Even the title seemed dramatic. It seems almost blasphemous to compare any of our suffering with crucifixion, especially the crucifixion of Christ. But I get it now. The subject matter is an example of what Jesus means by "take up your cross". I disagree with one specific point Edwards makes: that Jesus and the Father were not in agreement about Him going to the cross. That is definitely overstated and for that I am giving it 4 stars. I understand the point He is making, but I disagree with what he has concluded from the biblical text. I also disagree that Christ's objection in the Garden was over being betrayed by people. In all Gospel accounts, Jesus only refers to "the cup" passing from Him which is God's wrath. Has nothing to do with betrayal by men. All in all an interesting, helpful book for me personally.
