John Fischer hits a Home Run!

John shoots straight with us "church people." This small book drags us back to the church's fundamentals. Every believer should read this book.

Everyone should read this book

I read this book a couple years ago, loved it so much I lent it to a friend, but apparently didn't get it back. So I ordered it again, and finished reading it in one setting, sensing once again the impact of the cross John Fischer writes about in this book. It is rugged and splintered. It's not 'pretty' nor 'polished'. And this book helped me again realize it was an awful tool of death where sin was destroyed for me and those that accept His gift of redemption. This book will touch places of your heart possibly never visited before and I highly recommend it.

Remembering the Cross!

Somehow along the way in wanting to "appeal" to everyone and not wanting to offend anyone we forgot the words "sin" and "cross". John brings back what we have been missing.

New Light

The book is written in logical format and the material is very inspireing. I have never worn a Cross around my neck I am now in the market to by one.
