What Are You Centered On?
Sometimes the most important truths are the easiest to forget. It’s time to get back to the starting point of the Christian life—the cross of Christ. Jesus’ work on your behalf must be the central motivation for your life and faith—the main thing.
“Never move on,” says C.J. Mahaney, who shows you how to center every day around the cross of Calvary and how to escape the pitfalls of legalism, condemnation, and feelings-driven faith.

This great little book is probably a collection of C.J.'s sermons on the subject. It contains his usual wit and stories to open the door for and illustrate truth.

It is short (under 100 pages), accessible (not heady or filled with theological terms) & practical. It makes a great give-away to busy people.
I understand the limitations of this series of books- they can't say all there is to say on the topic. But they try to get the main point, distill it and apply it. I really like some of the other books too (but choose not to read a few others like Gothard & Robertson). This is one of the best books in the series, along with Alcorn's The Treasure Principle & Piper's The Dangerous Duty of Delight. (show less)Already read

This was my first time reading C.J. Mahaney. This book is now one of my favorites! It's one I could read over and over again, benefitting every time. What a treasure!

1. Memorize the Gospel, 2. Pray the Gospel, 3. Sing the Gospel, 4. Review how the Gospel has changed me, and 5. Study the Gospel.
It's all about the Gospel! What a great little book to remind us to always keep that perspective! (show less)Already read
