"Of course, the message of this book is well-written and spot-on! A great quick-read to get your mind and spirit back on track with "the main thing" (As C.J. puts it). Since it's so small, I'm encouraged to go back to it and benefit from its message repeatedly. "

— Jacqui, 5/25/2011 -
" This is a combination of Mahaney's The Cross Centered Life and Christ Our Mediator. Very encouraging and heart-warming devotional thoughts on the Person and Work of Christ. A good Sunday afternoon or bed-time meditative read. "
— Cbarrett, 3/1/2011 -
" We should never forget or neglect the cross, and how it should be central to our lives as Christians. This is a short, easy read to remind you of the truths of the gospel. "
— Michael, 1/16/2011 -
" This is an easy read and lots of good stuff to apply. It is about putting the living with the cross at the center of your life not at the top. The cross of Christ is being lived out with each step you take and each breath you take. "
— Brian, 12/31/2010 -
" This book came highly recommended, but didn't live up to the hype. Good reminder / refresher on the Gospel.<br/>My biggest "take-away" from the book, was to be purposeful about reminding myself daily, what the gospel is and how it has affected me and is affecting me. "
— Matt, 8/17/2010 -
