Salvation by Crucifixion
Philip G. Ryken
Why the necessity of Crucifixion?
How Christ triumphs over death
Why Christ's suffering changes your life
Don't sanitize the cross
Philip G. Ryken celebrates Easter with this thoughtful guidebook to understanding the cross. Seven answers to seven questions explain the why and the wherefore of the cross for a Biblical faith and a Christian life.
Ryken covers the necessity of the cross for salvation; the offense it gives to Jews, Gentiles, and any moral individual; the peace it brings to those who trust in Christ; the power it has to achieve God's loving, saving purpose; the triumph it wins over sin, death, and the judgment of God; the humility it displays in the character of Jesus; and the boast it becomes for every believer.

As practical as it is profound... It is a book that will encourage the believer and challenge the unbeliever as it displays the nature of God's redeeming love.

Artful, but simple; compact, but loaded; sound, but fresh. This book is a jewel. Some passages sing. It well repays the time it takes to read it.

Dr. Ryken in his striking exploration of this question shows the many facets of the Bible's teaching on the cross. Jesus' identity and mission shine out clearly. This book will be interesting and helpful for Christians and non-Christians alike.

Read this book slowly, prayerfully, meditatively, and let its amazing truths penetrate the depth of your soul.
