In this 31-day devotional, John Perritt looks at the life of Judas - the experiences he had living with Christ, the things he would have seen and heard, and his terrible final resolve. This is a book which challenges our hearts and makes us feel uncomfortable - and leaves us with tears of praise, wondering at the amazing salvation which we have in our Christ.
I must warn you, this is a book that will challenge your heart and its insistence in following bad paths. I hope that you take up and read.

-- Joe Carter (Editor at The Gospel Coalition and Author of 'NIV's Lifehacks Bible')The contrarian in me loves this - a look at Jesus through the eyes of His betrayer. And a look at our own relationship with Jesus through exploring theirs.
-- Barnabas Piper (Author of 'The Pastor's Kid', 'Help My Unbelief', and 'The Curious Christian')Some will find this book to be a needed warning, others will find it deeply comforting, but all who read it will be pointed to Christ's finished work.
