The Hope of Glory

Author: Jon Meacham

In “The Hope of Glory,” Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jon Meacham offers a deeply personal exploration of the last words of Jesus. Drawing from his own faith journey and extensive historical research, Meacham brings fresh insight to the seven final sayings from the cross. His prose is both scholarly and intimate, inviting readers to reflect on the enduring power of Christ’s message. As I read, I found myself pausing often, moved by the author’s thoughtful interpretations and their relevance to modern life.

The story of Jesus is the story of the unexpected.
