The Cross in Four Words

Melissa B Kruger

If we forget the cross—or fail to understand our desperate need of its reconciling work—we will lose our joy. The Cross in Four Words redirects our gaze to “Christ crucified,” reminding us of the love that bore our sin so that we might experience true freedom, forgiveness, justice, and purpose. This helpful book will refresh your heart and renew your mind in the wonder of such a great salvation.

This is a really helpful book that I will be sharing widely. I read it in a single sitting and took a lot of notes.

“A great overview of the cross”

Right out the bat I have to say I loved this book, some of the contributions felt stronger and better argued than others. But on the whole, the premises of the book and its intention to describe the cross in four words delivers on all fronts. The Kevin Deyoung chapters are the best, but I loved Coekin's introduction as well as his contribution to the fourth-word Purpose. It's an easy read but packs a good punch. And I'd highly recommend it.

“Thank you for excellent service, informative and enlightening too!”

I have purchased a number of really enlightening books. The Cross is fundamental and provides answers for many, and is most reassuring. You provide an excellent and efficient service. Thank you.
