Description: Real people. Real sin. Transformed lives. A compilation of heartfelt letters written from a pastor to his people that explains Jesus’ work on the cross.

Death by Love is a unique book on the cross of Jesus Christ. While many books debate the finer points of the doctrine of the atonement, what is often lost are the real-life implications of Jesus’ death on the cross for those who have sinned and have been sinned against. Written in the form of pastoral letters, Death by Love outlines the twelve primary effects of Jesus’ death on the cross and connects each to the life of a different individual.

Driscoll, one of America’s most influential pastors, and Breshears, a respected theologian, help readers understand, appreciate, and trust in Jesus’ work on the cross in a way that will transform their lives. Both deeply theological and intensely practical, this book shows how everyone can find hope through the death of Jesus Christ.

Excerpt: Chapter 1 - PDF

“This book is brutally honest about sin and suffering, and wonderfully hopeful as it points us to our true Savior.”
--Timothy S. Lane, Executive Director, Christian Counseling and Educational Foundation

“The stories portrayed in the chapters of this book are all too real, but more importantly, the pastoral responses offer riveting applications of the cross for true and lasting transformation.”
--Bruce A. Ware, Professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

“Practical and powerful. It applies the sufficiency of Jesus to the real-life challenges we face in the church every day. If you work with hurting people you need Death by Love .”
--Dan Jarrell, Teaching Pastor, ChangePoint Church, Anchorage, Alaska

“A key reason for my confidence in this book is its brilliant presentation of the historic theology of the cross and how it defends reprehensible attacks against it.”
--Gregg R. Allison, Associate Professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary

“The authors connect squarely with our ever-changing culture, declaring the central doctrine of Jesus’ death and why it is important.”
--Bill Mounce, President, BiblicalTraining.org

About the Authors
Mark Driscoll is the founding pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle, one of the fastest-growing churches in America. He is president of the Acts 29 Church Planting Network and is the author of several books.
Gerry Breshears is professor of theology and chairman of the division of biblical and theological studies at Western Seminary.

Monergism Note: This is a very unique book in which Mark Driscoll pastorally applies Christ's atonement to the everyday problems of the people he shepherds. Filled with personal counseling anecdotes, the book opens one's understanding the atonement in an intensely practical way. While we take exception to Driscoll's inconsistent understanding of particular redemption in chapter 8, overall the book is so helpful that we recommend it to both pastors and laypersons.

Customer feedback

Author: Todd Hammerstrom
I am sad that this book is described as \"unique\" because I wish there were more like it.

It is an evangelistic book; pastoral theology; and applied theology of the cross. It shows that in the cross (Gospel) God has truly provided enough for all of our human needs, problems, and troubles, no matter the nature or source.

Everyone can identify with one or more of the addressees of the letters. If you are a minister of the Gospel, you will learn how to apply the various aspects of the cross to people\'s lives.

I agree with John Hendryx\'s notes on chapter 8. Driscoll\'s take on what the cross \"bought\" is accurate but his labeling of every part of it \"atonement\" is not. Even with that misnomer and misconclusion it is still a helpful chapter in itself.
