  <default_description>Remember Jesus Christ? Although it seems almost too obvious, the center of our faith is surprisingly easy to forget. Dynamic pastor C.J. Mahaney shows how to overcome our tendency to move on from the gospel of grace. Finding joy in the gospel -- whose promises allow us to escape condemnation whenever it attacks -- helps us avoid the prevalent trap of legalism. With practical suggestions, Mahaney demonstrates the difference between knowing the gospel... and making it the main thing in daily decisions and daily living.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;What Are You Centered On? &lt;/b&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sometimes the most important truths are the easiest to forget. It&amp;rsquo;s time to get back to the starting point of the Christian life&#8212;the cross of Christ. Jesus&amp;rsquo; work on your behalf must be the central motivation for your life and faith&#8212;the &lt;i&gt;main thing. &lt;/i&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&#8220;Never move on,&#8221; says C.J. Mahaney, who shows you how to center &lt;i&gt;every&lt;/i&gt; day around the cross of Calvary and how to escape the pitfalls of legalism, condemnation, and feelings-driven faith.  &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Tap into the gospel&amp;rsquo;s power and see how a cross centered focus can transform your life today!</default_description>
