Suggested Reading for Easter 2009

This week at Mystery we started a new series called "Jesus Came to Die" looking at the implications and applications of the cross on our lives. Mark Driscoll of Mars Hill Seattle (one of our supporting churches) has written an incredible book Death by Love. It is a series of letters written over the years to various church members that pulls specifically from Christ's atoning working on the cross to address and answer everyday persons concerns, fears, issues and sins. It is theologically rich, deeply practical and very personal. Its easy to read and understandable written conversationally so it's an easy read.

Part of our Gospel Identity at Mystery is to grow as Learners. We want to grow in our knowledge of God so that we can best worship and enjoy him. Each month we recommend books and resources for people to read. This Easter season as we preach and teach on the cross Mystery highly recommends Death by Love to anyone looking to unpack and understand the grace and truth of the loving work that Jesus accomplished on the cross on the behalf of his people.
