Editorial Reviews

Review

“I have known Dr. Adrian Rogers for many years now and have come to love him like a brother. I have deep respect and admiration for his unwavering commitment to the cause of Christ and have benefited immensely from his godly wisdom and discernment.” —James Dobson, founder and Chairman, Focus on the Family “Adrian Rogers is one of the greatest preachers of our age, a man of tremendous conviction and deep biblical insight. The Passion of Christ and the Purpose of Life is his most important book yet. This is a powerful defense of the gospel, and a masterful presentation of the substitutionary nature of Christ’s atonement. Dr. Rogers hits the critical issues with full force and takes his readers into some of the deepest questions about God’s saving work in Christ. This faithful pastor is passionate about the meaning of Christ’s passion—and about the gospel that so powerfully saves.” —R. Albert Mohler, Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary “Dr. Adrian Rogers beautifully sets forth the glories of the sufferings of our Lord as they apply to life’s purpose. Read this book to be blessed and to be challenged.” —Jerry Vines, Pastor, First Baptist Church of Jacksonville, Florida “This is vintage Adrian Rogers. His handling of the atonement of Christ is alone worth the price of the book.” —Paige Patterson, President, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

This review is from: The Passion of Christ and the Purpose of Life (Paperback)

Adrian Rogers in a slim volume gives us reasons to understand the reason why God sent his son to earth, why it was necessary and why it is is all the difference between a life of purpose and an aimless life for each of us to accept and work with Jesus.
