Story
From Genesis to Revelation, the providence of God directs the entire course of redemptive history. Providence is “God’s purposeful sovereignty”. Its extent reaches down to the flight of electrons, up to the movements of galaxies, and into the heart of man. Its nature is wise and just and good. And its goal is the Christ-exalting glorification of God through the gladness of a redeemed people in a new world.

The church used to be recognised as a force for good, but this is changing rapidly. Christians are now often seen as the bad guys, losing both respect and influence. In our post-Christian culture, how do we offer the gospel to those around us who view it as not only wrong but possibly dangerous? And how do we ensure that the secular worldview does not entice us away with its constant barrage, online and elsewhere, of messages about self-determinism?

Can't anyone teach me how to pray?"" Millions of people today are asking the same question. There is a sense of the necessity of prayer - we have to pray. But how?' Prayer is central to Christian faith; indeed, as Timothy Keller notes in his introduction, it is the main way we experience deep change. Yet so many people struggle with prayer - a struggle that the author himself has shared. This wise and inspiring book is the fruit of those struggles, offering a real and glorious vision of what it can mean to seek God in prayer.

One of these was Dietrich Bonhoeffer. In the first major biography of Bonhoeffer in 40 years, New York Times best-selling author Eric Metaxas takes both strands of Bonhoeffer's life - the theologian and the spy - to tell a searing story of incredible moral courage in the face of monstrous evil.

What would it look like to genuinely love God with our head and our heart? To have a faith marked by right thinking and right feeling? To know God deeply and worship him passionately? Too often, Christians act as though these things are at odds with one another. But what if God intends for us to possess a Christianity that is radically committed to biblical truth, in a way that did not diminish the life of the heart, but actually intensified it?

Best explanation of Christ’s heart
- By Anonymous User on 11-02-2022
Publisher's Summary
The universal symbol of the Christian faith is neither a crib nor a manger, but a gruesome cross. Yet many people are unclear about its meaning, and cannot understand why Christ had to die. In this magisterial and best-selling book, John Stott explains the significance of Christ's cross and answers the objections commonly brought against biblical teaching on the atonement.
John Stott's modern classic is as sharp and pertinent as ever it was. It combines an excellent biblical exposition and a characteristically thoughtful study of Christian belief with a searching call to the church to live under the cross.

in many cases I believe amongst us that there are things revealed to certain people, not most but some. In this case, I have listened to this book and can truely say of most people who have grasped the cost of Christ's cross, this man simply unravels the wonder. the last 5 mins of the text is simply put, goose bump inducing as the author simply ties it all up into something that resonates with me. After all is said and done, one can simply thank God for having such witnesses that are able to interpret his work through such profound knowledge.

Our God Suffered For Us
Not much I can add to the power not just of this book but of what this book is about.
There is an eloquence and a depth that John Stott brings to the supreme moment in human history that coalesces human suffering and divine intervention.
I finished the last chapter moments ago. And I am brought to tears by just the word picture of that final poem about the scars.
Do yourself a big favor and consume this book – either in audio form, or read it. I never plan to, but almost always by the end of a good book like this one I will find a way to get the paper copy. Just so I can read and reread what is on the pages.
As this book should, I am drawn to re-read the Gospel accounts of what happened on that day and that afternoon.
I loved listening to this book – the British voice is fitting, of course for its author.
I cannot recommend this book enough.

Pithy implications of the cross of Christ
There's a lot to absorb from this book. I feel compelled to get the written version to highlight the many succinct points Stott makes. I'm sure I will listen to this audiobook more than once. It sometimes seems to follow rabbit trails, but always comes back to the cross. Stott treats a lot of heterodox theological issues in juxtaposition to orthodox ones, so it can be hard to follow if you can't listen straight through in one sitting.

Excellent book on the Cross of Christ!
A super informative and thorough book on the cross. He approaches the subject from many different angles and sets forth beautiful truths about God's heart and about the glory of what God has done for us in Christ. Truly the salvation that God has provided for us is totally awesome and amazing. Though this book is quite long I highly recommend it. The only point that I have a substantial disagreement with is where he says that physical healing was not provided in the atonement. I do believe that it was provided. but like I said this is the only major disagreement I have with this book. Other than that this is an awesome book.

Set Your Heart Aright
Stott guides heart and head alike to Christ’s suffering, so that we both acknowledge His authority and learn to love Him for His compassion. Each paragraph is an antidote to poor thinking, yet at the same time this is no mere intellectual exercise. Stott instead shows a path to Christ’s painful and effective surgery for our heart, learning to love the One that can alone remove our bitterness, our insecurity, our pitiable self-love. Simon Vance’s cadence gives a warm and thoughtful presentation of this most valuable of books.

The final chapter on suffering and how God uses it in the elects life to increase our spiritual knowledge and understanding of Him, while spawning a humble posture before HIM was worth the price of the book. The Holy Spirit illuminated it greatly to me resulting in great affirmation of HIS plan and purposes. Now in Christ by grace through faith in Jesus Christ some 42 years. Praise You, LORD GOD!

Read it carefully take notes if you can get the editiiin that has a study guide. I am going to listen to it again and I don't think I will be bored at all.
