I loved this book! It is short, readable and very clear. None of the questions Christians tend to ask about the cross are ducked and are answered with both Old Testament background and New Testament fulfilment. This book is a gem and I will be buying copies to pass on to others.
Accessible, readable and crystal clear … this excellent treatment of the cross provides Biblical explanation, contemporary illustration and spiritual nourishment for every reader. It is particularly valuable in dealing with common misunderstandings and objections. Buy it, read it and give it away!
Christians should never tire of thinking about the cross of Christ and its many implications. Marcus Nodder will stimulate you to understand and appreciate the big issues as they are presented in Scripture and have been debated by believers throughout the ages. His careful attention to detail is matched by an easy and persuasive style of writing, making this a helpful book for personal reading or group study.
One of the things I especially appreciated about this book is the clarity and simplicity of illustrations helping us to grasp the significance of Jesus’ death. Nodder uses stories, images, and ideas to help us understand the importance of the cross. For some, like myself, who’ve heard about the death of Jesus again and again, this book will offer you a fresh insight into the absolute heart of God’s love. It’s only 92 pages long—so do yourself a favour, pick it up and read it.... continue reading
This FREE book has helped me see the cross in new light. I am now more informed to share the gospel message of Christ crucified to my non-christian friends, family and neighbours. Thank you Good Book Company!
