The Message of the Cross

by Jimmy Swaggart

For several months, prior to publication, some people were asking that we should write this book and that it be entitled, “The Message Of The Cross”. • I believed then and now that their request was from the Lord. Consequently, this book is the result of that need. • This Message, “The Message Of The Cross” is the single most important Message of the Word in any language. The Salvation of the soul and how we live for God is important beyond comprehension. • I feel every Believer will be greatly strengthened in the Word if they will avail themselves of this publication.

About the author

Jimmy Lee Swaggart was an American Pentecostal televangelist, pastor, media mogul, author and gospel music artist.
Swaggart was ordained as a pastor by the Assemblies of God. He went on to become one of the most well-known televangelists in America. During the 1980s, his crusades were a major part of his ministry—drawing large crowds and receiving significant media attention. Swaggart founded Jimmy Swaggart Ministries, which owns and operates the SonLife Broadcasting Network (SBN). He also founded the Jimmy Swaggart Bible College. Swaggart was the senior pastor of the Family Worship Center in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
Swaggart was known for scandals involving prostitutes and revolutionary groups accused of war crimes in southern Africa. One prostitution scandal gave rise to a televised February 21, 1988, speech by Swaggart known as his "I have sinned" speech. After Swaggart was defrocked by the Assemblies of God due to sexual immorality, he moved on to become a non-denominational minister.
Swaggart wrote about 50 Christian books offered through his ministry. He sold over 15 million records worldwide as a gospel artist and he also received one Grammy Awards nomination.

Reviews

[Kayla Lowe · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is a must-read for all Christians! It better explains how important the Cross is not only to our salvation experience but to living righteously after salvation. Brother Swaggart's Expositor's Study Bible and his books have greatly deepened my understanding of God's Word and how we're to have victory over sin. I wish everyone would read the Expositor's Study Bible and this book!

Very Good

Great understanding concerning Jesus Christ and the Cross. Every Christian should read this book and then go back and read the entire Bible again. So good.
