    About this audiobook

    The cross is the heart of Scripture



    Everything about the gospel message leads to the cross, and proceeds from the cross. In fact, within the narrative of Scripture, the crucifixion of Jesus is literally the crux of the story—the axis upon which the biblical story turns. But it would be a mistake to think we could sum up the significance of the crucifixion in a tidy sentence or two. That kind of thinking only insulates us from the magnificence of what God has done. In our ongoing quest to make meaning of the cross, we need to recognize that this conversation will never conclude—that there is always something more to be said.



    Brian Zahnd reminds us that the meaning of the cross is multifaceted and should touch every aspect of our lives. Just as gazing through the eyepiece of a kaleidoscope reveals a new geometric image with every turn, Zahnd helps us see that there are infinite ways to behold the cross of Christ as the beautiful form that saves the world. The Wood Between the Worlds is an invitation to encounter the cross of Christ anew.

      This was a beautiful book about an ugly subject: the cross of Christ. In this book, Zahnd portrays the cross in many facets of our world. I thought it was so beautiful and the audio version was read by Zahnd. Please listen ( or read).

      Fantastic up to date, readable book on the cross! READ IT!

      Love it and it’s Christology is beautiful , but the chapter on Mary and the prayer is a bit controversial for many… it would have been better to leave it if the book wants to reach to all Christendom.
