Christianity is nothing without the Cross. If Jesus did not die and rise again, he is simply a man who made crazy claims about being the son of God. If the Gospel is preached devoid of the Cross, it is no Gospel at all. There is no Grace without the cross. No salvation without the cross. No heaven for us to gain. No healing for our bodies. No joy to give us strength. We are allowed into the family of God by the adoptive love of God. This is only accessible through the cross. There are to crosses...more
Short chapters that needed to be digested slowly. Lots of insights:
You cannot carry a cross in company.... Man learns in inner solitude what he could have not learned in a crowd.
We Christians do so many things that are not really bad; they are just trivial. They are unworthy of us -- much so if we discovered Albert Einstein cutting out paper dolls...
What a blessing to find out that the mercy of God speaks louder than the voice of justice.
The Christian sees the world as a sinking ship from which...more

The book has difrent compilations about the cross of Christ. It challence you and gifs some beautiful thoughts to think about. Not a book to read in a day if you want to get everything out.
Another wonderfully convicting and compelling book by Tozer. I never read one of his books without feeling that I have been challenged and changed.
I thoroughly enjoy Tozer's writings; an excellent writer and Pastor
You better believe it.
excellent!
I would recommend this book to anyone searching to deepen their spiritual life. So many things that Tozer speaks in this book really make u search your soul and challenge yourself. Great read!
Tozer was a modern day prophet and his many works are truly enlightening and truly challenge one in their walk with God. This work speaks much on radically living out one's faith in Christ and living passionately and radically for Christ, and we cannot do that without the cross. This is one of Tozer's many great works that believers should read and learn from!
Tozer is sold-out for Jesus and inspires his readers to also be sold-out. Very spiritually motivational. You could say this book will kick your spiritual butt. Of course it's not much fun to have your butt kicked, but it does help you reach your goals. My goal is Jesus, so this is a great book for me.
This might be the best written work of his I've read so far. Read it, and you won't be dissappointed. Challenged, yes. But not unnecessarily.
Tozer gives a clearer explanation what the cross of Jesus really meant. After reading this, you'll be more serious with Christianity.
This is an awesome book that teaches what it really means to follow hard after Christ.

“The work of Christ on the cross did not influence God to love us, did not increase that love by one degree, did not open any fount of grace or mercy in His heart. He had loved us from old eternity and needed nothing to stimulate that love. The cross is not responsible for God's love; rather it was His love which conceived the cross as the one method by which we could be saved. God felt no different toward us after Christ had died for us, for in the mind of God Christ had already died before the foundation of the world. God never saw us except through atonement. The human race could not have existed one day in its fallen state had not Christ spread His mantle of atonement over it. And this He did in eternal purpose long ages before they led Him out to die on the hill above Jerusalem. All God's dealings with man have been conditioned upon the cross.”
