The Great Paradox

A key biblical Scripture verse--often neglected in importance--becomes one of the most critical teachings of our Christian faith: "If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake, and for the sake of the gospel, will save it." This book highlights how this basic teaching comes alive in some of the greatest biblical texts.
