the Cross of Christ

This book is John Stott's magnum opus, diving deep into the titular heart of the Christian faith. It is rigorous but accessible, profound but familiar, consistently biblically-grounded & full of pastoral application. Highly recommended reading for any Christian who wants to more expansively understand the wonderful divine mystery of Christ's substitutionary death for us and what it means. I've been reading through it ten or so pages at a time with my dad, which has led to some incredibly helpfully-edifying & spiritually-provocative conversations, so I would  highly recommend doing something similar to get the most out of this chonky tome - indeed, the edition I've linked here includes a study guide at the back, which we didn't use, but I imagine would be greatly fruitful.
