Outrageous Mercy: Rediscovering the Radical Nature of the Cross
Item # B3820-00-11
William P. Farley
The Bible is a complex book. Is there a way to distill the essential Christian message? William Farley says there is: everything Christians really need to know about life is learned at the cross.
In Outrageous Mercy, Farley provides “an examination of some of the key messages spoken to us through Jesus’ death.” Each chapter takes a closer look at a different aspect of the truth the cross teaches us. The cross, Farley writes, is so important that “you will never reach the end of its ramifications in this life or eternity.”
Each chapter includes questions for study and reflection.

Reviews
“Farley has given us a beautiful book that ‘lifts high the cross’ and thus imparts mercy and grace for the Christian life. Outrageous Mercy is a book to read and reread.” —R. Kent Hughes, senior pastor emeritus, College Church, Wheaton
“A powerful, cross-centered book. I especially appreciate the straightforwardness of the content. The fact is that we are surrounded by a church culture that does not routinely value the Cross. Farley…does a great job showing the biblical basis and daily implications of the cross.” —Tony Reinke, author, Lit! A Christian Guide to Reading Books (forthcoming, September 2011)
