C.J. Mahaney recommends books to read on the Cross. One is not even out yet, so unless you are really in the loop and J.I. Packer and Mark Dever has asked you for an endorsement, then you haven’t read them all . . .

“. . . Chris Brauns has done a magnificent job in helping us understand the true nature of biblical forgiveness. Every Christian will profit from reading and applying this book.” Jerry Bridges.
“ . . . Unpacking Forgiveness is an engaging, convicting but emphatically encouraging treatment of this hugely important (and sometimes mindbogglingly challenging) part of life. Dr. Brauns writes from the standpoint of a faithful, wise, experienced and caring pastor . . .” Ligon Duncan, First Pres, Jackson, MS

I got a priceless recommendation that is easy to read (from Challies.com) called “The Cross He Bore,” by a man named Leahy. I think it’s at the Westminster Bookstore online for $4.
It’s short but quite deep. Takes you from Jesus’ arrest to the cross.
Has some interesting background info and leaves you in deep meditation as you finish each short chapter.
Would be a great rec. for God’s people during the Passion Week.
Would you, by any chance, be heading to Piper’s pastor conference next week?
No – - unfortunately, I am not. I was able to hear Mark Dever at Trinity th is week. . .
Are you going to the pastor’s conference?
I’m tentatively planning on Together for the Gospel.
Lance, Thank you for the book recommendation. I have not read it.
