The Darkness and the Glory - His cup and the glory from Gethsemane to Ascension
The Darkness and the Glory examines the cross from Christs perspective and provides a compelling behind-the-scenes look at the profound spiritual and theological realities of Calvaryrealities that transcend the physical, as the wrath of man was surpassed by both the wrath of Satan and ultimately the wrath of God. With theological acumen and pastoral insight, Greg Harris invites readers to join him on a journey to the cross they will never forget. Doctrinally sound yet warmly devotional, this Christ-centered book is highly recommended to all who desire a better understanding of the glories of the cross.

It is hard to put into words the impact this book has had on me. Rarely do you find a book that delves so deep into the Scripture to find truth, without departing into vain and errant speculations. But The Darkness and the Glory stays true to Scripture while exploring the depths of what Jesus did on the cross. I will never be able to look at the sacrifice of Christ on the cross in the same way. The darkness of the cross and the suffering of my Savior on my behalf brings me to tears and utter amazement. It was my sin that held Him there, and I should have been in his place, experiencing the wrath of God. But Jesus paid the ultimate price to purchase salvation for His own. This book puts the darkness of the cross and the glory of what Jesus accomplished in stark contrast to each other. In doing this, Harris has shown us the depth of both - the utter darkness of the cross and the infinite weight of the glory. While we can never fully understand these things, I am incredibly indebted the Lord for using this book to cause me to love and appreciate my Savior more fully. Jesse Howard
