At the Cross

by Richard H. Allen

Overview

In volume two of At the Cross, Richard Allen focuses on the sanctification that follows a believer’s initial commitment to Christ. The cross of Christ represents the spiritual, physical, and metaphoric reasons for our existence. At the Cross is a line-by-line examination of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John as these apostles describe events from the Garden of Gethsemane to the resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ.

This bookis written for both new and seasoned believers so they may find direction for, and discover the ramifications of, that commitment. At the Cross is also written for nonbelievers so they can see why believers, from the martyrdom of Christ to the most recent Chinese Christian jailed and tortured for his faith, would forfeit their lives and liberty rather than deny their Savior.

Editorial Reviews

Richard Allen has written At the Cross under true inspiration. He is a gifted communicator.. .. I strongly recommend that you read At the Cross with your ‘thinking cap’ on and enjoy the full benefit of this excellent work.

Rev. Jerry S. Beall

Jean Doerfler

We will all stand before the cross of Christ one day, and for those who come with humility and repentance, they will find freedom and unspeakable joy. In At the Cross, you will discover un-mined riches filling you with awe and wonder.

Mark H. Vander Meer

Richard Allen’s book challenges the reader to examine one’s life in the shadow and light of the cross, thus bringing a great sense of hope. Mr. Allen gives us an intimate look at what it will actually cost to follow Jesus: our very lives.

K. Craig Moorman

The author and my friend Richard Allen in this second volume of At the Cross, has given us a very challenging call to be holy in an unholy world. His writing style has a Lenard Ravenhill quality that will greatly probe and profit you in your walk with God.

David Clardie

At the Cross is thought provoking and inundated with great illustrations. Richard Allen points to the great depths of the cross yet presents these deep truths in words which a child can understand.

Bill Johnson

I believe strongly that the evangelical life-style is the cross-style. The cross was an event shaping and shaking our world, but it was much more. It was the very attitude of the Kingdom manifested through one Man and promised to all people through His Spirit. Richard Allen’s At the Cross will help you embrace this attitude.

Stephen Manley

At the Cross is a call to self-examination in light of the True Light, Jesus Christ. Richard Allen exhorts the reader to throw off the traditions of men and pride, laying himself and others at the foot of the cross. A book for the honest saint and the honest sinner. It’s for pastor and laity alike.
