Companion volume: Blackaby and Smith, Experiencing the Cross Study Guide
LifeandLeadership.com Summary
This book may be of interest to those who use Blackaby’s popular curriculum Experiencing God or his book on personal and corporate revival, Fresh Encounter. This volume discusses the journey of knowing Christ’s forgiveness and following him in discipleship. It is part of large line of books and workbooks that build upon the teaching and approach of Blackaby’s popular curriculum, Experiencing God.
Some may wish to balance the Experiencing God resources with the evaluation of mystical spirituality by Michael Horton, In the Face of God, which was written several years before. Nevertheless, many Christians have healthfully deepened their walk with God through this curriculum. Several volumes from the series are linked in the summary of Experiencing God. See similar resources, some of which provide a good balance to Blackaby, in the guiding essay on Spiritual Revival.
From the Publisher
Although the cross is God’s decisive deed in human history, the full meaning of it is far too much for a mere human mind to grasp. But through Henry Blackaby’s careful examination, the cross becomes not a doctrine, but an experience. You’ll be overwhelmed with the utter significance of Christ’s death, leading you to a stronger sense of God’s power in your daily life. Steeped in the Blackaby distinctive of constant encouragement toward your personal experience of God, and firmly rooted in Scripture, this study guide makes it impossible to keep a casual attitude toward sin. Practice surrendering to the deeper dimensions of the cross, so that nothing can block the Lord’s presence and power in your life!
