Read the Introduction
In Tempted to Leave the Cross, author and pastor Ernest Flores considers the cross of Jesus and what it represents in the Christian church today. Offering solid biblical study in a conversational style, he embraces the cross as more than a symbol of personal salvation but as a call to kingdom service. This rich collection of meditations challenges today's Christians to:
• Center our beliefs and actions in the cross
• Value the high price that Jesus paid for our salvation
• Be selfless and sacrificial in our pursuit of justice in the world
Complete with "Cross Examinations" for small-group use, this prophetic discipleship resource is ideal for Lenten study or reflection throughout the year.
