Book review: Cries from the cross by Erwin W. Lutzer

Pastor and author Erwin W. Lutzer examines in this wonderful book the meaning of the cross, the purpose for the suffering of Jesus. He believes we have to understand what the cross meant to Christ in order to get what it should mean to us. Pastor Lutzer examines Jesus' cries from the cross. His heart cried for the sins of the entire world, he took upon Him the guilt and the sins of humanity so that we can all get freedom, be forgiven and have everlasting life. God's love and justice meet on the cross, He shows us the biggest sacrifice because of His love, mercy and justice. We have to meditate on the weight of sin and the power of redemption. Our eyes have to be glazed upon Jesus in His weakness, obedience, sorrow, compassion and love. The cross deserves our attention because it points to the heart of Jesus. We can surrender to Him so that or hearts can be shaped to His heart. I received a copy of the book from the publisher for this review.

Book review: Life in community

This wonderful books presents the impact people living in community, being moved by the gospel and marked by the Spirit have. Truly great things happen. The people commit to one another. They grieve together, sing together, eat, pray, and play together. They love, serve, honor, encourage, provide for each other with a joyful heart. Also they live on mission together. As a result hearts are healed, walls come down. The people from outside come in, they feel invited, comfortable and accepted. There is no competition, no pretense, really amazing to be in community, pray for each other and help each other. A lot of people live in a shadow of what God intended for us, not fullfilling the full call and living completely surrendered. Life in Community calls us into the light, inspires us to live in love unbounded. You will totally be called to unleash the power of extraordinary community. I received a copy of the book from the publisher for this review .
