Hello, everyone, this is Family Talk, which is the division of the James Dobson Family Institute,

and I'm your host, Dr. James Dobson.

You know, early one Sunday morning, my wife Shirley and I were listening to a televised message delivered by my good

friend, Dr. Ed Young, of Winning Walk. I was so inspired by what he had to say that day that I wrote

a note to our vice president of media the next day, and I ask him to contact the winning walk

team and ask for permission for us to air the recording

of Dr. Young's message. And we wanted to do that on Good Friday. And guess what? That's today.

Well, they generously granted us permission to do that. And we're going to let you hear that recording

today. This message will help

prepare you for Easter Sunday morning two days from now, as we remember, the death and resurrection

of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Here now is Dr. Ed Young.

I love to read biography.

I've read a lot of biographies.

Somehow when you walk inside the skin of men and women,

significant, insignificant, historical, biblical. I just love biography. How many of you

like biographs? Lift your head, yeah, a lot of us do. It's something about it. It keeps us

awake a little better than other types of literature. But if you've read a lot of biographies,

you'll notice something. The account of the

central character's death is usually very brief. Sometimes just a sentence or a page. Sometimes

maybe a small chapter toward the end.

But when you study the story of Jesus, do you realize that half, almost half of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John take up the last few days of his life.

Interesting.
