The Power of the Cross

Putting It To Work In Your Life

by Tony Evans

The cross is an historical event that can bring us to heaven…And a current event bringing heaven to bear on us. In The Power of the Cross, Tony Evans applies Christ’s work to life today. In three parts, he systematically and pastorally explains three aspects of the cross: Its Person: What makes Christ unique, and how He is the center of salvation history; Its Purpose: What was accomplished on it, and how it is to be the centerpiece of our lives; Its Power: The stability and deliverance it provides in our everyday living. We wear crosses around our necks, but do we apply it to our lives? Jesus’ work holds incredible power for us. It’s time we embrace it, for God’s glory and our joy. | read more»
