Crucifixion: 8 Lessons on How God Saves Us - Paperback

There is no salvation without Christ's sacrifice.

Discover the awe-inspiring significance of a God who gave up the privileges of divinity to love, serve, teach, and save people who have turned their backs on God. Explore the mystery of the crucifixion, God freeing us from death by entering into it.

Each lesson in Crucifixion guides you through a specific passage of Scripture, using the down-to-earth language of The Message, and takes you on a journey of understanding the transformational power of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross and how the Good Friday story changes us and our neighborhoods.
