Product Description
Product Description
Remember Jesus Christ? Although it seems almost too obvious, the center of our faith is surprisingly easy to forget. Dynamic pastor C.J. Mahaney shows how to overcome our tendency to move on from the gospel of grace. Finding joy in the gospel -- whose promises allow us to escape condemnation whenever it attacks -- helps us avoid the prevalent trap of legalism. With practical suggestions, Mahaney demonstrates the difference between knowing the gospel... and making it the main thing in daily decisions and daily living.
What Are You Centered On?
Sometimes the most important truths are the easiest to forget. It’s time to get back to the starting point of the Christian life—the cross of Christ. Jesus’ work on your behalf must be the central motivation for your life and faith—the main thing.
“Never move on,” says C.J. Mahaney, who shows you how to center every day around the cross of Calvary and how to escape the pitfalls of legalism, condemnation, and feelings-driven faith.
Tap into the gospel’s power and see how a cross centered focus can transform your life today!

In a word, this book is excellent! Small, but packing a massive punch - It's the Rocky Balboa of my bookshelf...I just can't knock it down!
In it, CJ quotes, 'All success in the Christian life depends on a re-capitualtion of the original terms of one's acceptance with God!' He brings us back to the MAIN THING with eloquence and sensitivity, and communicates how to live this clearly by addressing the major stumbling blocks of condemnation, legalism and being dictated to by our feelings. This is followed by a chapter of practical ideas of HOW TO live a cross-centred life built one day at a time. He closes with an appeal to not forget or shelve its message even if the book itself is never read again (although I can't imagine why this would be the case).
Plain and simple. The book does what it says on the cover. If put into action, it will help you to live a 'cross-centred life, keeping the gospel the main thing'. Buy it. Read it. Put it into practice and hopefully it will knock you out too!

Be aware that this is a very little book! I was mortified when I recieved my copy considering the price and the postage, it can hardly weigh 100g and has only 70 odd pages. Now that the bad news is out of the way, those pages are packed with a superb message put forward with the quality and passion you would expect from C.J.Mahaney. Impacting stories and examples are used to good effect to impart the message that the rich and full Christian life is a Cross centred life. I will gladly buy copies as gifts for burnt out friends but hopefully in bulk so I wont get stung by the postage. Why not combine it with another order that gets you free postage. A quality, if brief read

If you struggle with reading long, difficult books, looking for the odd paragraph of something that will relate to you; then look no further! This book may be small, but its theme, the cross of Christ and how it relates to us, is huge; and life changing truth leaps out from every page.
It is written with humour and intelligence...and particularly, with passion.
If you are only going to read one book this year...make this the one; you will be forever grateful.
