Publisher Description
WHY?
The most important questions anyone can ask are: Why was Jesus Christ crucified? Why did he suffer so much? What has this to do with me? Finally, who sent him to his death? The answer to the last question is that God did. Jesus was God's Son. The suffering was unsurpassed, but the whole message of the Bible leads to this answer.
The central issue of Jesus' death is not the cause, but the meaning-God's meaning. That is what this book is about. John Piper has gathered from the New Testament fifty reasons. Not fifty causes, but fifty purposes-in answer to the most important question that each of us must face: What did God achieve for sinners like us in sending his Son to die?

A Great 50-Day Devotional
My wife and I received this book as a wedding gift when we got married back in 2004. John Piper is my favorite author and pastor and in his 125 page book he answers the most important question that each of us must face (in 50 different ways): Why did God send his Son Jesus to suffer and die on the cross? Although the book can be easily read in one evening, it might be better read as a 50 day devotional.
