The cross is an historical event that can bring us to heaven...  
And a current event bringing heaven to bear on us

In The Power of the Cross, Tony Evans applies Christ's work to life today.

In three parts, he systematically and pastorally explains three aspects of the cross:

- _Its Person_: What makes Christ unique, and how He is the center of salvation history
- _Its Purpose_: What was accomplished on it, and how it is to be the centerpiece of our lives
- _Its Power_: The stability and deliverance it provides in our everyday living

We wear crosses around our necks, but do we apply it to our lives? Jesus' work holds incredible power for us. It's time we embrace it, for God's glory and our joy. Read The Power of the Cross to find out how.
