The crucifixion of Jesus: a dreadful mistake? A tragic failure? Irrelevant? Absurd? An embarrassment?
The cross of Christ is, in fact, at the centre of God’s plan for men and women. This book explains why.
With freshness and clarity, Mark Meynell explores the Bible’s teaching, to show how God himself ‘cross-examines’ us in the death of Jesus.
At the cross, God exposes our deepest need, meets it fully and enables us to live transformed lives.
This revised and expanded edition includes new chapters on union with Christ and leadership.
