Description
Frederick Leahy spent a lifetime in the ministry of the Word. In these pages, preacher, pastor and theologian come together in a happy unity. No words are wasted. There is nothing of the frothy and insubstantial. Here is satisfying truth, painstakingly quarried and crafted for the needs of God’s people. A judicious selection of gems from the writings of others provides further enrichment and stimulus to thought.

J. J. Mills – 18 July 2024
Whenever a book is recommended, you often hear the recommender say that ‘this is the best book I have ever read!’ Well, I was first introduced to The Cross He Bore at the 2024 Banner of Truth Ministers’ Conference. During one of the sessions, Leahy’s book was warmly and strongly recommended. After the session, I eagerly went to the bookstore and picked up a copy. Having read it now, I am eternally grateful for this little gem! I can honestly say that this is the best book I have read, thus far, on the sufferings of Christ. Each page of this book is really a tear-stained page. The truths found in this book will lead you to great depths of sorrow over your sin that nailed Christ to the tree. But it will not leave you there! This book will bring you to great heights of gratitude and thanksgiving, theology and doxology! With Martin Luther, you will be left saying, ‘This is true. We are all beggars.’ With Toplady, we will continually sing, ‘A debtor to mercy alone, of covenant mercy I sing!’

The hype around this book is real. It is a classic. It is even better that it was authored by a man who was from the same part of the world as I and who ministered in a denomination very theologically close with my own. A tremendous survey of our Lord’s travails at and on the way to Calvary. I devoured it in one sitting. I will read it again slowly another time. As you read you get a real sense of the agonies of Calvary and at times it moves you to worship. A lot of quotes are scattered throughout, which helps. A tremendous book. Highly recommended!
