From the Back Cover

[Category: Devotional]

'It is finished!'


Mission accomplished. Redemption is complete through the cross:

· evil powers are defeated
· death is destroyed
· sinners can be forgiven
· God makes peace, as do enemies
· history is brought under Christ's governance
· the whole of creation has been reconciled to God

Mind-blowing but true.

'Start with the central event of the Christian faith, take some carefully curated portions of John Stott's books, and what emerges is [this] book . . . Come on a journey . . . Be amazed again at what Christ has done.' Antony Billington

'A reminder of what lies at the heart of the Christian faith, distilled with intelligence and passion. I opened this on a day when I wanted someone to do the thinking for me, and I loved it.' Jeremy Vine

'This book will greatly deepen your understanding of the cross and resurrection, and quite possibly change your life!' Richard Winter

Chris Wright is an author and international Bible teacher who guides us through Lent, not in the usual way but by using the prism of the whole Bible.

John Stott was also an author and international Bible teacher. He wrote the much loved classic The Cross of Christ (IVP), which features strongly in this book.
