Editorial Reviews
"Every Timothy needs a Paul. C. J. is mine...and this book contains his life-message. It is my handbook for pursuing a cross centered life. Read it yourself, and let God realign your life."
-JOSHUA HARRIS, Pastor and bestsellign author
"C. J. Mahaney is the most spiritually infectious Christian I know! His passionate pursuit of Christ is so enviable to me because it flows out of both his own daily contemplation of the Savior as well as his intimate knowledge of the Word of God. Would to God that all true believers be infected with a huge dose of the same kind of enthusiasm for living the cross centered life. If you read and seek to apply what C. J. skillfully writes in this wonderful book, you just might find yourself contracting the same glorious disease he has, with the joyful hope of spreading it all around!"
-LANCE QUINN, Pastor-teacher at The Bible Church of Little Rock, Little Rock, Arkansas
"You're holding the book you want to read to begin living the Christian life. You're also holding the book you want to read to help you continue living the Christian life. There's no other place to begin living the Christian life than at the cross. There's no other place to keep living the Christian life than at the cross. C. J. Mahaney's Living the Cross Centered Life will help you do that."
-MARK DEVER, Senior pastor at Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington, D.C. and author of Nine Marks of a Healthy Church
"My friend C. J. Mahaney gives us a fresh look at our Lord and His cross. He lives the cross centered life, and is therefore qualified to talk about it. C. J. has a passion for Jesus and His people, and I was drawn closer to Jesus through this book. What higher complement could I offer?"
-
RANDY ALCORN, Bestselling author of The Grace and Truth Paradox and The Tresure Principle
"C. J. Mahaney is one of our generation's most genuine and heartfelt proclaimers of the cross of Jesus Christ. In this unexaggerated book, readers will encounter the winsome zeal of a man who has found in Christ the greatest of treasures and a joy that must be shared."
-DONALDS WHITNEY, Author of Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life and How Can I Be Sure I'm a Christian?
"The great nineteenth century Scottish pastor, Horatius Bonar once wrote, 'If we would be holy, we must get to the cross and dwell there.' C. J. Mahaney takes us to the cross in such a way that we can indeed dwell there. This is a book to be read and reread many times. Its message will never grow old or out of date."
-JERRY BRIDGES, Author of The Pursuit of Holiness
"With tenderness and power, C. J. illustrates the critical difference between snacking on the benefits of the cross, versus surveying the wonders of the cross. It's the difference between living as consumers, versus loving as the consumed...the difference between having a theology of grace, versus running boldly to the throne of grace. This
is a must and magisterial read!"
-SCOTTY SMITH, Senior pastor at Christ Community Church in Franklin, Tennessee
