The second half of the cross of Christ is not just a New Testament concept. It runs throughout the Bible from beginning to end.
The cross applied to our lives through a God-composed journey of faith is a divine creation that elevates the Christian life above horizontally conventional normalcy. The narrative stories of faith in the Bible rise above human literary invention, beyond the creative imagination of human experience, because they involve the participation of the living God.
This book explores this theme in the life-stories of some of the great characters of the Bible as their experiences relate to our present journeys of faith.
After reading this book, I was struck with the truth in the concepts and would recommend it highly to others. It was very well written and includes many practical applications for our lives. So many of us come to Christ through a one time experience that saves us by His grace, yet few of us understand that God's plans include so much more for us than what we could imagine. This book provides clear directions for Christians, who are wanting to go deeper in their relationship with God, after their initial experience in salvation. Examples from the Bible, model what we can do to follow Christ, after the first half of the cross. This would be a wonderful study book for churches or make a great gift for a new Christian. This book is definitely worth the read.
