A Scandalous Beauty: The Artistry of God and the Way of the Cross

The book is short, but sweet! If you are like me, sometimes I get very annoyed by books that expound on a topic to the point that it sucks the life out of the reading. Detail can be very good, but it can also turn very quickly into rambling, especially when the book is not intended to be a work of research. Thankfully, this book does not get caught in the details. Instead, it paints a wonderful picture of the passion event (Christ's suffering and death) that I don't think many people see. Perhaps you have never thought of God as an artist, that is, in the context of the death of His Son. This book, for me at least, brought a fresh new perspective on Christ's sacrifice that I had not thought on before. I am much appreciative!
