Living a Cross-Centered Life

Would you like to rediscover a passionate love for Jesus Christ? Go back to basics, to the basis of your faith: the cross. At the cross, the deepest truths of Calvary will awaken in you a passion for Jesus that will not fade afterward.

Never give up, never move on. CJ Mahaney will show you in this book how to center your daily life on the life-giving reality of the Gospel and how to escape the trap of legalism, condemnation, and a faith primarily driven by emotions.

One fundamental reality, countless fundamental changes.
