C. J. Mahaney. Christ Our Mediator: Finding Passion at the Cross. Multnomah, 2004. 96 pp.

What’s the Key to Having More Passion for Christ, the Cross, and the Gospel?

The answer is to look at the death of Christ not from our point of view, but from God’s. That’s what this book helps you do in a profound, strategic, and life-changing way.

Author C. J. Mahaney exposes our human tendency to look at the Savior’s death (and at everything else!) through our own subjective feelings and impressions, rather than from the standpoint of objective truth. By nature we always begin with ourselves rather than with God. But by following the God-first “Divine Order” in how we think—and by asking “What do I believe?” instead of “How do I feel?”—we’re freed up to embrace the right truth in the right way.

Preaching the Cross | Mark Dever, et al.

by Phil Gons on April 24th, 2007

Mark Dever, et al. Preaching the Cross. Crossway, 2007. 176 pp.

Proclaiming the gospel is without a doubt the most important task of pastoral ministry, yet often other, seemingly more urgent activities obscure it. From time to time all pastors and preachers need to be reminded of the primacy of the gospel.

Preaching the Cross does just this. It is a call to expository, gospel-centered preaching as the center of pastoral ministry. This volume showcases an unprecedented combination of pastors representing a variety of evangelical traditions. Though they differ on some secondary points of church practice, they all enthusiastically celebrate the centrality of the cross of Christ—keeping the main thing the main thing. That message every reader can take away from this book and adopt in his pastoral ministry.
