Contents Author:
Geoffrey Thomas is a worldwide conference speaker who served as pastor of Alfred Place Baptist Church in Aberystwyth, Wales, for more than fifty years. Endorsements: "Historically, evangelical Christians have been a cross-centered people. And as this series of powerful reflections on the meaning of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ abundantly demonstrates, this focus on the death of our Lord is a biblical one. In fact, the Baptist pastor-theologian Andrew Fuller once rightly commented that 'Christ crucified is the central point, in which all the lines of evangelical truth meet and are united,' and as such, it is 'the principal glory of Christianity! "Trustworthy and tender, passionate and pleading, earnest and evangelical. Geoff Thomas has a way with words. They take hold of your mind and soul and draw you to the foot of the cross. This is evangelical pleading at its very best. Captivating and compelling, vintage Thomas.
