A Violent Grace - Paperback Book

Nominated for a Gold Medallion Award - 2000

• If Jesus' resurrection forms the hope of our salvation, why should we study His death?
• Why is the cost of our redemption as significant as the saving itself?
• Isn't it unhealthy to feel indebted to someone who sacrifices for us?
• Isn't it psychologically damaging to study an event whose violence would have been considered at least R-rated?
• Shouldn't we emphasize emblems of peace and love instead of symbols of brutality and death?
• What can we possibly gain from focusing on the cross?

In his book, A Violent Grace, acclaimed author and singer Michael Card answers these questions with the insight of a biblical scholar, the authority of Scripture, and the passion of a disciple. Exploring the event of the cross, he explains, is essential to our understanding the depths of God's love and Jesus' sacrifice. And the brutality of Christ's death emphasizes the lengths God went to restore humankind to Himself. When we understand the darkness of the cross, we can more fully embrace the light it brought.
