The Glory of the Cross

James Lawrence

What a helpful book. Clear: it focuses us on Jesus. Wise: it reminds us that his work on the cross is sufficient. Rewarding: it offers reflections and prayers that reveal the treasures of John’s Gospel. A great resource to use through Lent. Buy it for yourself and give one to a friend.

John Stevens

Lent is usually a time for fasting, but this new book by Tim Chester will help you to enjoy it as a time of feasting on God’s word. Short yet profound daily readings in John’s Gospel, which are deeply devotional without sacrificing exegetic rigour, will help you to meet Jesus and to gaze on his glory as revealed by his word and actions, and especially through the cross and resurrection. Suggested prayers and mediations will help you to apply these truths to your heart, strengthening your faith and love for Christ. Although structured especially for use in Lent, this book would be spiritually profitable for daily readings at any time of year.

“Amazing Insights & Challenges”

Wow, I thought I knew what Messiah Jesus endured and achieved for His flock but this is a deep inspiring devotional for Lent to encourage us to surrender all
to Him, our King forever, hallelujah!

“Book to get you thinking”

Have been reading this book during Lent and have found it very helpful. It gives me plenty to think about and I feel is drawing me closer to Jesus.

“The heart of Lent, bringing us to the heart of Easter”

This is a great resource. A number of people at my church are reading this together each day through Lent. I'm finding that it is a very helpful way to prepare for Easter.

“Very helpful devotional book”

Very helpful devotional book for Lent. It was good to spend a length of time considering the finished work of Jesus with studies in John's gospel.

“Really engaging, clear, heart-warming stuff.”

We ordered 20 of these to read for regulars at our church-plant to read through Lent. It was the first time we've done anything like a book of the term or Lent book, but it was just brilliant. People loved how clearly Tim writes and seem to have been really nourished through sticking it out through these forty heart-warming readings.

“God-filled, loving, gentle, truthful, informative,”

This is a seriously good book to take one through the season of Lent, thought-provoking, showing God’s glory and love in every word.
