Best books on the cross

The cross is where Jesus took the sins of the world upon himself and defeated death by rising from the dead. The Old Testament story leads up to the cross, the Gospels tell the life of Christ leading up to the cross, and Acts through Revelation documents the transforming effects the cross had in the lives of the apostles and the church. The words of a dying person are often dramatic and insightful, serving as a window into their soul. The importance of the dying words of Jesus Christ are only amplified when realizing how all of history led to the cross and how the cross changed everything to follow. What if you woke up one morning knowing that it was your last day on earth? Heaven, How I Got Here is his story, told in his own words, as he looks back from Heaven on the day that changed his eternity, and the faith that can change yours. Frederick Leahy spent a lifetime in the ministry of the Word.

I believe that reading books written by other, wiser Christians is one of the most effective ways to grow as a Christian. But with millions of books available and thousands more being written every year, how can you know which ones to read? In order to help you, I compiled a list of 50 books I think that every Christian should read. Encouraging, grace-filled, faith-filled, and not condemning! I pretty much stink at prayer. This book always gets me fired up for prayer.
