Editorial Reviews

Review
"I highly recommend Gene's book for every person, because it reveals the great affection God has for all of mankind." -- Suzanne Hinn

"The book is phenomenal. I have never read a book like this." -- Jack Taylor - Former Vice President of the Southern Baptist Convention

Product Description
The most powerful depiction of the death of Christ ever written. See that infamous day not through the eyes, nor the voice of other men, but rather through the eyes and voice of the Lord Jesus Christ himself. He tells you of that day.

There has never been a more stunning, more heart-touching piece of Christian literature to be found in the English language as is The Day I Was Crucified.

Because it is His account of His own death, you will discover little known aspects of Christ’s death. You are also ushered into a presentation of the Lord’s death as seen from the viewpoint of principalities and powers as they gather on Golgatha. You will meet the embodiment of the law, of sin, and the world system…even the personification of Death as he arrives on the scene to claim his victim.

The Day I Was Crucified stands out as literary excellence apart from virtually any books known in the modern era.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Christian Literature In Modern Times, April 16, 2004

By	Rodney Tripp (GEORGIA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was the first book I have read by Gene Edward. In fact I stumbled across this author by accident. My view of this written work is that it is ... powerful and moving. This is one of those rare life transforming books. The words written by Edwards have recorded the crucifixion and the resurrection in way that the reader will be ushered into unseen realms to witness the power of the cross as seen from the view of God the Father.

This could be a book which could take it place among the great books of christian literature. Someone has recommended Edwards book called, The Divine Romance" And I will them up on that recommendation.

If this review has not been enough for you judge, then let me say this, " This book will surprise you... and when you finish the book, it will surely become one of your yearly favorites to read.

3.0 out of 5 stars A Good Edwards book, but definitely no the best, April 10, 2004

By A Customer

I enjoyed this book, but I can honestly say that it is not as good as Gene's earlier title The Divine Romance. The depiction of Christ on the cross in The Divine Romance is much more gripping and edgy. While reading The Day I was Crucified, I felt like Gene was in a hurry to get Christ to the cross. Gene's other writings are notoriously more patient in delivery, and hence more dramatic. This book had the feel of being in a extreme hurry to get to the end.

I would also like to throw in my two cents on several of the statements used here on Amazon in the above description of the book. I think they are a bit grandiose. I quote "The Day I Was Crucified stands out as literary excellence apart from virtually any books known in the modern era." That is a bit of an extreme statement to make from a book that is brand new on the market. Only time will tell this. Another "There has never been a more stunning, more heart-touching piece of Christian literature to be found in the English language as is The Day I Was Crucified." Who is writing this? This is rather self promoting if you ask me.
Is it a good book? YES, but is it an instant classic? Hardly! As I said above, if you want to read a more dramatic depiction of Christ on the cross, read The Divine Romance by Edwards. It is a much more powerful depiction.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, fictional account of Jesus' life, July 26, 2004

By	Elyons Daughter "Elyons Daughter" (Delaware, The First State) - See all my reviews

WOW, I really liked this book. Yes, it is fiction so some of the minor details are changed or fuzzy.....but the Message is there - and it is the timeless message of Jesus.....with parables, insights, and even humor. This is a wonderful peek into what Jesus might really say if He were to be interviewed.
Well written and easy to read. I highly recommend it for those who like Christian fiction.
