It's rare for me to even think about recommending a book that I haven't yet read. There are probably 4 living authors that I would do that for, and D.A. Carson is one of them. This new book by D.A. Carson (which we will be stocking shortly in our bookstore) promises to be among the most accessible of Carson's works, as it is a collection of 5 messages that Carson gave at a recent conference on Jesus' death and resurrection, titled, "Scandalous." This would be a fantastic book to go through as individuals or families to prepare our hearts for the glory of Easter.
Here are the chapter titles and Scripture references:
1. The Ironies of the Cross: Matthew 27:27-51a
2. The Center of the Whole Bible: Romans 3:21-26
3. The Strange Triumph of a Slaughtered Lamb: Revelation 12
4. A Miracle Full of Surprises: John 11:1-53
5. Doubting the Resurrection of Jesus: John 20:24-31
