Death by Love (Paperback Edition): Letters from the Cross (Re:Lit:Vintage Jesus)

While many books debate the finer points of the doctrine of the atonement, the real-life implications of Jesus’s death on the cross are often overlooked. Written in the form of pastoral letters, Death by Love outlines the twelve primary effects of the atonement and connects each to the life of a different individual. Driscoll, one of America’s most influential pastors, and Breshears, a respected theologian, help readers understand, appreciate, and trust in Jesus’s work on the cross in a way that will transform their lives. Both deeply theological and intensely practical, this book shows how everyone can find hope through the death of Jesus Christ and is now available in paperback.
