The Cross Centered Life: Keeping the Gospel The Main Thing
TLDR: “Short and focused with a clear point”
I enjoyed this book. It’s very short, and has a very focused point: in the entirety of our spiritual lives, there’s nothing more important than the sacrifice Christ made at the cross, and this is something we need to think about and acknowledge every single day.
The book talks about three related topics:
- The crucifixion takes away any legalistic need to earn salvation
- The crucifixion takes away any condemnation or shame about our past
- The crucifixion stands alone, regardless of how we feel
The book finishes with some practical advice for concentrating on these things during the day – the “cross-centered day.”
It’s a nicely-done book. Well-focused, good message. Doesn’t say too much or too little.
(And when I say the book is small, I mean it’s both short and very small. It’s a tiny little hardcover.)
