Summary
Across forty days of vivid storytelling， It Is Finished offers you a unique and vital roadmap to trace the power and necessity of the cross throughout the Bible， from the book of Genesis all the way to your present-day reality。 Through forty slices of the story of Calvary， master storyteller and vivid Bible teacher Charles Martin， will walk you back to the cross to look up at it from a different angle each day and ask the Father to reveal to Whether it is your first， tenth， or ten thousandth time looking up at the cross of Christ， you can trust New York Times bestselling author Charles Martin， to wrap an arm around your shoulder， come alongside and walk with you as a fellow pilgrim headed in the same direction and answering the same "What will I do with this man， Jesus？" Because before we can celebrate the resurrection， we need to backtrack to where Jesus has been， how He got there， and what His presence there accomplished。 And while Satan can't change what happened on that Friday， he has been working ever since to hide what happened there。 To obscure the work of the Cross。 To avert our eyes。 But on this 40-day pilgrimage your eyes will open wide and your heart will race as you discover the answer to the question that can change your life， Lord， why me？ Why would you endure the cross and despise the shame， for me？

Charles Martin has created a work of ART in his newest title， "It Is Finished"， a forty day devotional filled with God's amazing love， grace， and redemption for His children。 In Martin's book， he brings the reader through a journey of the grace and mercy God has for His people， and the unconditional love He shows through His Son's journey to the cross on our behalf。 The book is divided into 40 chapters that show different aspects of God's love for us， and Martin uses scripture to define the char Charles Martin has created a work of ART in his newest title， "It Is Finished"， a forty day devotional filled with God's amazing love， grace， and redemption for His children。 In Martin's book， he brings the reader through a journey of the grace and mercy God has for His people， and the unconditional love He shows through His Son's journey to the cross on our behalf。 The book is divided into 40 chapters that show different aspects of God's love for us， and Martin uses scripture to define the character traits of Jesus in each setting。 He divides each chapter with a historical message from the bible exemplifying Jesus' life and journey。 Each chapter is filled with personal attributes to help the reader relate to the significance of the redemptive story taking place， and personalize it for themselves。 The chapters end with a prayer to God and then God's response to His people， using scripture to share of God's redeeming love。 I rarely read a book more than once， and this is an incredible devotional that I will read and re-read over the years ahead， as well as share with my family and friends。 It is just that GOOD！ Charles Martin - Thank you for drawing us closer to the cross and understanding the true depth of Tetelestai， "It is Finished"。 Thank you NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for the opportunity to review this book。 。。。more

This is the best “devotional” ever！ It’s very biblically based， heart-felt， intellectual （meaty）， but also very compelling， inspirational， easy to read and understand！ A few pages a day， not just a paragraph or two。 10-15 minutes a day。 Includes a longer heartfelt prayer and God’s response in Bible verses！ Starting with the last week of Jesus earthly life， we are also taken back to the Old Testament and other relevant scriptures to help us understand our need for the Cross。 Things you know， thin This is the best “devotional” ever！ It’s very biblically based， heart-felt， intellectual （meaty）， but also very compelling， inspirational， easy to read and understand！ A few pages a day， not just a paragraph or two。 10-15 minutes a day。 Includes a longer heartfelt prayer and God’s response in Bible verses！ Starting with the last week of Jesus earthly life， we are also taken back to the Old Testament and other relevant scriptures to help us understand our need for the Cross。 Things you know， things you have heard all your Christian life （or maybe new to you if you are not a Christian）， yet the author （&God&Holy Spirit） brings it all to life; you feel at heart what is being said。 This book is very memorable and I highly recommend it！ 。。。more

Charles Martin brings his skill for story telling to a devotional， bringing the cross to life in a whole new way。 I wasn't sure how this book would translate for me， as I love his fiction writing but I didn't want to add to the story of Christ and the Word。I NEED NOT HAVE WORRIED！ Martin walks you slowly and methodically back to the cross， guiding you through the Word and allowing time to marinate in the truths presented。 You will not leave unchanged。 I was reminded time and again through the 40 Charles Martin brings his skill for story telling to a devotional， bringing the cross to life in a whole new way。 I wasn't sure how this book would translate for me， as I love his fiction writing but I didn't want to add to the story of Christ and the Word。I NEED NOT HAVE WORRIED！ Martin walks you slowly and methodically back to the cross， guiding you through the Word and allowing time to marinate in the truths presented。 You will not leave unchanged。 I was reminded time and again through the 40 days of how huge of a gift the cross was， of the immense price that was paid， and of my complete need for a savior even when I am behaving "good"。Every Christian。 whether new in their faith or a veteran， will benefit from this devotional study。 This book would also make a great gift。 。。。more

It Is Finished: A 40-Day Pilgrimage Back to the Cross by Charles Martin is a glorious book。He begins with our need for redemption and inability to save ourselves， and then he leads us to the cross。 This is an achingly beautiful devotional written to prepare our hearts and minds to celebrate Jesus's redemptive work。From the author's website:"Across forty days of vivid storytelling， It Is Finished offers a unique and vital roadmap to trace the power and necessity of the cross throughout the Bible， It Is Finished: A 40-Day Pilgrimage Back to the Cross by Charles Martin is a glorious book。He begins with our need for redemption and inability to save ourselves， and then he leads us to the cross。 This is an achingly beautiful devotional written to prepare our hearts and minds to celebrate Jesus's redemptive work。From the author's website:"Across forty days of vivid storytelling， It Is Finished offers a unique and vital roadmap to trace the power and necessity of the cross throughout the Bible， from Genesis all the way to your present-day reality。"With every devotion， designed to be the length of about a cup of coffee， Charles Martin weaves vivid word pictures， drawing us close to the heart of God。 The lens he uses engages all our senses and all our emotions， evoking in me the only logical response - worship。 From Day 2:"God takes as deep a breath as He can， filling His lungs， then presses His lips to our lips and breathes out， filling us with the breath of God。 。 。our first breath began in His lungs。"If you like the author's "no holds barred approach" to painful passages， you will love this book。 He doesn't shy away from graphic descriptions of what the Lord endured for our sakes。 He describes Jesus's back after His flogging as shredded。 Hamburger。 An uncomfortable truth that brings me to my knees。This book isn't just a devotional on the work of the cross; it's a manual on how to pray meaningfully and intimately。 Each devotion is filled with Scripture and offers a beautiful， vibrant prayer。 My prayers can feel anemic and humdrum - these are powerful。 And every prayer is followed by a response grounded in Scripture。“I pray throughout this journey that you and I come face-to-face with both the weight of our need and the depth of the problem。 I pray that we are undone by the truth of us。 And I pray that we simultaneously experience the limitless joy of what Christ accomplished for us。” – p。 XXIII， It is FinishedCharles Martin， mission accomplished。Thank you NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for the opportunity to review this book。 。。。more

From the book: “Without this Cross， there is no tomb。 No “He is risen。” No “firstborn from among the dead。” No Savior with the keys of death and hell dangling from His belt。 No Alpha and Omega， Beginning and End。 Before we can celebrate where He is not （i。e。， the tomb） and why He is not there， we need to backtrack to where He’s been， how He got there， and what His presence there accomplished。”This is the first book that I have read by this author。 I found myself enthralled with his ability to pa From the book: “Without this Cross， there is no tomb。 No “He is risen。” No “firstborn from among the dead。” No Savior with the keys of death and hell dangling from His belt。 No Alpha and Omega， Beginning and End。 Before we can celebrate where He is not （i。e。， the tomb） and why He is not there， we need to backtrack to where He’s been， how He got there， and what His presence there accomplished。”This is the first book that I have read by this author。 I found myself enthralled with his ability to paint such vivid scenes with his words。 I found myself reading and re-reading the same day over and over again。 I found myself in his plain straight-forward word pictures bringing to the fore that which is ugly， detestable， and foul。 I found myself starting up at the Cross and simply asking myself， why would He do that… for me？ There are books that I may at some time pick up and read again。 This is a book that requires a deep read – again – and a deeper study。 I highly recommend this book， but be forewarned， it may take you much deeper into your love of our Savior。Disclosure: I received this book free via NetGalley。 The opinions I have expressed are my own， and I was not required to write a positive review。 I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR， Part 255 http://www。access。gpo。gov/nara/cfr/wa。。。。 。。。more

It is Finished4 starsCharles Martin has written another wonderful book that takes a deeper and closer look at the cross and Jesus。 Martin has a way of making the reader look at and examine things in a while new way。 This would make a great study for both an individual and a group。I received a complimentary copy of this book from Netgalley and the publisher。

Rarely do I read a book twice， but this one had me on my knees。 It Is Finished: A 40 Day Pilgrimage Back to the Cross by Charles Martin is a definite read again worthy book。 Forty days of reading about the events leading to the Cross which includes some historical perspectives is a wonderful way to prepare for Resurrection Sunday （Releasing Feb。 6th gives 7 weeks to prepare）。 I will definitely be ordering this book so that I can highlight and reread over and over again。Thank you so much NetGalle Rarely do I read a book twice， but this one had me on my knees。 It Is Finished: A 40 Day Pilgrimage Back to the Cross by Charles Martin is a definite read again worthy book。 Forty days of reading about the events leading to the Cross which includes some historical perspectives is a wonderful way to prepare for Resurrection Sunday （Releasing Feb。 6th gives 7 weeks to prepare）。 I will definitely be ordering this book so that I can highlight and reread over and over again。Thank you so much NetGalley and Thomas Nelson Publishing for the opportunity to read an ARC。 。。。more

I will be reading this book again so I better take it in。 Reading quickly， so I could review the book， does it a disservice。 The book is amazing and forces a response to The Cross。 I received a copy of this book from NetGalley and the publisher and voluntarily provided an honest review。
