Publisher Description

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, read by coauthor Mark Driscoll.

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.

Mark Driscoll, one of America's most influential pastors, and Gerry Breshears, a respected theologian, help listeners 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.

"The main preaching pastor at Mars Hill Church (which I am a part of) Pastor Mark Driscoll wrote this book with Gerry Breshears. It is an amazing book that highlights aspects of the atonement, by telling true life stories. It is an amazing book for Biblical Counseling. I would highly recommend it for anyone who disciples, trains, or counsels people."

    " This book does a great job of showing different aspects of the cross, and how they relate to people. I especially like the chapter entitled "my daddy is a pastor" where Pastor Mark describes deals with the question "who did Jesus die for?" explaining differences between limited and unlimited atonement, and more than that offers a third category of unlimited limited atonement "
