Description
In volume two of At the Cross, Richard Allen focuses on the sanctification that follows a believer's initial commitment to Christ. The cross of Christ represents the spiritual, physical, and metaphoric reasons for our existence. At the Cross is a line-by-line examination of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John as these apostles describe events from the Garden of Gethsemane to the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ.
This bookis written for both new and seasoned believers so they may find direction for, and discover the ramifications of, that commitment. At the Cross is also written for nonbelievers so they can see why believers, from the martyrdom of Christ to the most recent Chinese Christian jailed and tortured for his faith, would forfeit their lives and liberty rather than deny their Savior.

Reviews / Votes
The author and my friend Richard Allen in this second volume of At the Cross, has given us a very challenging call to be holy in an unholy world. His writing style has a Lenard Ravenhill quality that will greatly probe and profit you in your walk with God. -- David Clardie, general evangelist, Clardie Evangelism Ministries, Free Methodist Church of North America, Bad Axe, MI At the Cross is thought provoking and inundated with great illustrations. Richard Allen points to the great depths of the cross yet presents these deep truths in words which a child can understand. -- Bill Johnson, president, American Decency Association, Fremont, MI I believe strongly that the evangelical life-style is the cross-style. The cross was an event shaping and shaking our world, but it was much more. It was the very attitude of the Kingdom manifested through one Man and promised to all people through His Spirit. Richard Allen's At the Cross will help you embrace this attitude. -- Stephen Manley, lead pastor, Cross Style Church of the Nazarene, founder, Cross Style School of Practical Ministry, Lebanon, TN, At the Cross is a call to self-examination in light of the True Light, Jesus Christ. Richard Allen exhorts the reader to throw off the traditions of men and pride, laying himself and others at the foot of the cross. A book for the honest saint and the honest sinner. It's for pastor and laity alike. -- Steve Huston, pastor and writer, American Decency Association, Fremont, MIMore details
