The Christian faith is centred on the cross and that is also where the Christian life is rooted.
These 13 studies help us look at the significance of the cross - including
forgiveness, its revelation of God, the conquering of evil - and then what it means for the Christian community to live under its transforming power.
The cross gives us a new worshipping relationship to God, a new incentive to give ourselves in mission, a new love for our enemies and a new courage to face the perplexities of suffering.

What does it mean to seek first the kingdom of God - in our relationships, values, ambitions, finances, and our commitment to God himself? Jesus' answers to such vital questions amazed those who first heard the Sermon on the Mount. These studies - written by leading theologian and communicator John Stott, author of bestsellers including Basic Christianity - will challenge you to grow in your Christian faith.
The most influential leader in the early church was undoubtedly the apostle Paul. And in his letters we watch him exercising his leadership skills among the early Christians. In the first four chapters of 1 Corinthians, Paul responds to a complex church situation and to questions the Corinthians have addressed to him. In these nine studies for individuals or groups, John Stott shows how Paul does so with clarity, wisdom, humility, love and gentleness - qualities that we can learn from as leaders today.
