Description

These profound reflections on the cross from David Mathis, author of The Christmas We Didn’t Expect, will help you to meditate on and marvel at Jesus’ life, sacrificial death, and spectacular resurrection—enabling you to treasure anew who Jesus is and what he has done.

Many of us are so familiar with the Easter story that it becomes easy to miss subtle details and difficult to really enjoy its meaning. This book will help you to pause and marvel at Jesus, whose now-glorified wounds are a sign of his unfailing love and the decisive victory that he has won:

“He was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” (Isaiah 53:5)

This book can be used as a devotional. The chapters on Holy Week make it especially helpful during the Lent season and at Easter.

Scripture speaks of ‘the unsearchable riches of Christ’ (Ephesians 3:8). In Rich Wounds, David takes us into these endless riches with his beautiful reflections on the Savior. A deeply edifying book.

Weaving together biblical truth, historical treasures mined from hymns, and contemporary challenging insights, Mathis has produced a masterpiece guaranteed to refresh even the most stagnant heart.

“great Resource”

Mathis does a wonderful job of refreshing our delight and awe in Jesus by delving deep into his Life, Death, and Resurrection. Jesus is not the person nor the Savior the Father claims Him to be within Scripture without all three of these aspects.

The book is structured as a devotional split into four parts with thirty days of readings. The four part titles: His Life, His Death, His Triumph, His Passion Week. Each daily reading is formatted the same:

- Scripture Reference

- Insights from Mathis

- Prayer

- Additional Scripture Reading

I love that each day is saturated with Scripture. As someone who has not read from Mathis previously, he surprised me in his knowledge surrounding theology and doctrine. The devotionals were simply yet profound. I was able to grasp the concepts being addressed but also feel challenged to dissect deeper.

The back cover description indicates our hearts will thrill with adoration and wonder - this could not be more true after reading this devotional. It is a wonderful option for Easter but also for any other time of the year. It is ideal for all walks of faith and everyone will gain a deeper understanding and perspective of Christ's purpose.

I received a copy of this book from The Good Book Company in exchange for an honest review.

“Such a Great Encouragement”

No matter how many times we ponder the cross and resurrection, we will never comprehend the magnitude of grace and mercy that are on display through Christ's sacrifice. This reflection by Mathis is something I've used as a devotional for the past few weeks and it's been a great encouragement. As Mathis says on the back cover, "Jesus is a king unlike any other... These thirty meditations will bring delight for your soul". This they do!
