Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross: Experiencing the Passion and Power of Easter

This collection of readings drawn from the writings and sermons of 25 classic and contemporary theologians and Bible teachers focuses on the wonder of Christ’s sacrifice. The cross is a symbol that everyone is familiar with, but too few thoughtfully contemplate the cross and all that it means.

Bible teacher Nancy Guthrie invites readers to linger at the cross together with classic theologians such as Martin Luther, Jonathan Edwards, Charles Spurgeon, J. C. Ryle, and Augustine, and with contemporary writers such as John Piper, R. C. Sproul, Francis Schaeffer, and Joni Eareckson Tada. Each chapter expounds on a particular aspect of the Easter story, helping readers reflect on Christ’s passion and anchor their hope in the power of his resurrection.
