His ascent upward, with the cross upon his shoulders, depicts the lifelong journey of every believer—to carry the message of the cross to the world. For decades, Rod Parsley has championed this message like few in modern times. He is on a mission to preserve a message that is under siege by a secularized generation.

The message of the cross has never been more timely, relevant, and necessary than it is now. It is the foundation of our salvation, freedom, and faith. It is the cure for what ails all humanity.

Throughout the pages of this book Pastor Parsley paints an incredible portrait of Christ and His cross—of what is, what it was then, and what it is today. I personally will do all I can to help spread THIS message throughout the church and the entire world. It MUST be preached.

“I’m so delighted that my friend Pastor Rod Parsley has written a book on the cross.

I hope you’ll read the book.”Mike HuckabeeFox News Channel Host “Huckabee” & Former Arkansas Governor

“There is far too little emphasis on the importance of the cross. Jesus paid a great price for the life and freedom we expe-rience through that most powerful manifestation of God’s love.

To Christians who—like Christ—live in a culture unready to hear His message, Parsley mounts challenges to cherish the Cross, understand its power, and live out its truth.”Mark Williams, D.D.Presiding Bishop/General Overseer, Church of God

“Why did Jesus Christ die on the cross? What caused the Son of Man to do the unthinkable, to give His life as a substi-tute for each of us? My dear friend Rod Parsley has written a powerful book that proclaims, as the apostle Paul wrote, “I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified” (1 Cor. 2:2). Through each chapter Rod reminds us that the blood of Jesus Christ is the heart of the Gospel.
