  Amazing.
  This is a book that you have to read slowly and savor, to really think and pray through it as you read. Stott does a very thorough job at setting up the cross and the death of Christ historically to set up the context. He then plunges into the depths of why the cross was needed, what it achieved, and how it is to affect the lives of those of us who trust in Jesus. He presents varying views from church history, and biblically refutes the ones that are not in line with Scripture,... (show more)

  This book has greatly deepened my understanding of the cross, and most importantly, my love for Jesus. I'm sure I will read it again in a few years. There is just too much to grasp it all in one read.
  I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a deeper understanding of Christ and His cross. What more important thing in the world is there to understand than this? (show less)

  Biblically-rich and historically engaging, Stott's classic on the centrality of the cross --more specifically the vicarous, forensic substitionary atonement of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on that crossfor us -- is a must read for any maturing Christian who wishes to lead a life about God and his glory he pleasures in. (your life isnt about you!)"
  Thanks must be given to God for this man who has discipled, trained, and "gospel-ed" many a Christian --especially in this book... (show more)

  Having read "The Cross of Christ", I now have a clearer idea of how much it cost God to pay for me and my wretchedness, I see more clearly how much God loves me. The more you see the love of God, the more you can receive the love of God and the more you receive it, the more Gods love in you will overflow in your loving your neighbor who --too-- is a precious image-bearer of this radical,loving God.

  Bravo Stott! (show less)
