Jesus, Remember Me

On the day that changed the world, three men were crucified on a hill outside Jerusalem. Two of these men were violent criminals. The third was God Incarnate. To His left, died a man mocking and cursing. To His right, died a man who cried out to his Saviour, "Jesus, Remember Me." Journey to the foot of each cross as these men face suffering and death. Then decide: Of the two men who died next to Jesus Christ, whose cross would you choose? "Ron has stood long, and knelt longer, at the foot of Calvary, in the shadow of its three crosses, in the brightness of its central one. In Jesus, Remember Me he brings us a dispatch of that encounter that is at once harrowing and exhilarating. He dares to defy all theological trendiness and instead to plunge us deep and hard into this truth; nothing but the blood of Jesus can wash away my sin. This is a book for those who want to be done with lesser things." -Mark Buchanan Author of Your God Is Too Safe, Things Unseen, and The Holy Wild "The busyness of parish life in an age of aggressive and militant secularism makes it easy to forget that our life has meaning. In the distractions and stress of our lives, meaning and purpose seem to evaporate. In the quiet despair of meaning in our world Ron Corcoran has intervened with the story of how God has answered for each of us the prayer 'Jesus, Remember Me.'" - Dr. Harry Robinson Chaplain, Anglican Studies Program, Regent College Ron Corcoran is the pastor of St. Matthias Anglican Church in Victoria, British Columbia.
