| Available March 2009 Daily comforts from the gospel of Christ provide busy Christian women with
brief but deep reminders of how his truths powerfully connect to their daily
lives.
Nothing comforts a woman’s soul more than a fully understood and embraced
gospel. But many women aren’t finding solace in their relationship with Christ
because they don’t see how his life, death, and resurrection connect with soccer
practices and swim lessons. Besides, they just don’t have time to sit down and
read a theology book, no matter how much they might hunger for God’s truths.
That’s where Elyse Fitzpatrick’s latest book comes in. Comforts from the
Cross provides those well-intentioned women with bite-sized readings to
remind them of their place in Christ and of his love and ministry in their busy
lives. It also dusts off the facts of the gospel to show how ancient truths such
as justification, sanctification, and redemption can free and enliven their
souls every day. Even more, these five-minute celebrations of the gospel relieve
readers of legalistic condemnation and empower them for joyful obedience by
engendering fresh love for the Savior.
A perfect choice for gift-giving or personal encouragement, Fitzpatrick’s
book helps active women grasp the practicality of the gospel message and
experience its deep comforts. |
