This was a fabulous book to read Easter weekend, which is when I read it. Getting re-focused on the cross, Blackaby makes several points backed by scripture on the importance of the cross, the message of the cross, and how we are to take up our own cross to follow Christ. The short chapters were broken down into even smaller bite-sized pieces, so it was easy to both read in snatches - and to chew on a particularly poignant thought for awhile without losing your place. If you've ever wanted to meditate on the importance of the cross, this is one I'd recommend.

Fantastic book to read around Easter. It dwelt on the areas surround the cross from not only a historical position, but deeply delves into how the cross is to be a central part of the daily life of a believer. I was challenged to allow God to radically deal with my sin on a daily basis and not take Christ's sacrifice lightly by simply ignoring the power and grace that are available to me.

What a profound read. Brother Henry Blackaby is a great writer. He pointed out many points I had not actually thought much about. It was real food for thought and helps me immensely in my Christian walk. I intend to read “Experiencing the Resurrection” following his recommendation that we need to also experience the resurrection.

I have never met the author but a cousin, who was a missionary in Uganda for 26 years has and told me quite a bit about him. I will be reading many more of his and his sons’ books.

This book is profound

I thank the Holy Ghost for leading me to this book - twice. Once when I was still a babe and wasn’t ready for it’s meat and now that I have put away childish things. God is awesome and amazing and He knows exactly what we need and what we can handle. Thank you God for this book.

A good sequel to "Born Crucified"&"Bone of His Bone."

Blackaby does a fine job digging into how very important the cross is in the life of the saved & born again Christian believer!

This was a great book and helped explain the depth of love that God and Jesus have for us. Favorite Quote: "God's Word says that I'm never again in bondage to sin, and I don't have to sin"

Great truths conveyed in such a short book!

Under 200 pages but full of the truth of scripture. Read as a devotional with my 11 year old and he loved it.
