Synopsis
Experience the freedom God offers when you understand what it truly means to be crucified
with Christ.
Few symbols are more recognized or universal than the Cross of Jesus Christ. For some, it's a sign of suffering--the essence of humanity's sin and the world's darkest moment when God's own Son died. For others, it's the pinnacle of spiritual victory, marking the moment when God accepted the ultimate sacrifice and restored His relationship with a fallen people.
However, as revealed by Dr. Robin Riggs, the Cross represents a revolutionary lifestyle that Christ called us to embrace in order to follow Him. Drawing on decades of pastoral experience and in-depth research, Dr. Riggs lays the message of the Cross bare for modern disciples, pinpointing the essential balance of pain and victory that guides readers into a deeper, more intimate relationship with Christ.
