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.

Eye opener

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.

Very edifying for the soul of the Christian

If you struggle to read something like this on paper like me, the audio book is for you. Listen to it when you have some free mental space and chew it over in your mind. Well worth a listen, it will challenge any shallow understanding of the cross of Christ.
