Description

Because the cross is the heart of Christianity, Christians should look constantly for fresh ways to understand its meaning. The Cast of the Cross answers this need by taking its readers to Calvary through the eyes of the men and women who were there. Some of the characters are heroic, some are puzzling, and some are even repulsive. But the true protagonist is Christ. This book was written to exalt Him. Each chapter begins with a narrative to set the mood for the lesson that follows. Thirteen lessons discuss the people and events that make Christ's death the most compelling story in history. These are packed with practical information designed to help the reader apply the Gospel to life in the twenty-first century. -- cover
