Mark Driscoll's new book Death By Love

Death by Love: Letters from the Cross (Click on this link to go to web site)

I have recently been reading, Death by Love, by Mark Driscoll and have found it to be a very practical guide to pointing people to a Christ-centered and cross-centered solution to their hurts, fears and truest needs. Having skimmed over the whole book, I feel confident in recommending this book. This is a great book for all of us who have been victimized by sin, Satan and the flesh and it points the way toward experiencing Christ exalting victory over these foes.

The language in the preface and introduction may be more scholarly than some of us are use to. The chapters are much easier to read.

Real people. Real sin. Transformed lives. A compilation of heartfelt letters written from a pastor to his people that explains Jesus’ work on the cross.

Death by Love is a unique book on the cross of Jesus Christ. While many books debate the finer points of the doctrine of the atonement, what is often lost are the real-life implications of Jesus’ death on the cross for those who have sinned and have been sinned against. Written in the form of pastoral letters, Death by Love outlines the twelve primary effects of Jesus’ death on the cross 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’ 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.
