Moody – Born Crucified

Back Cover
For L.E. Maxwell. the cross was everything. He wrote Born Crucified to "attempt in a small way to set forth, not as an exposition or theological statement, but in simple sermon and exhortation, the role of the Cross in the life of the believer." In doing so, Maxwell made clear the way to victory over sin and empowered service to God.

Maxwell's words come as strange comfort to our souls: "God's way of victory over sin is not through the suppression of sinful desires, nor through the eradication of the old nature, nor yet through the cleansing of inbred sin. God's way of victory is through crucifixion---deliverance is only through death."

L. E. Maxwell writes, “The cross is the key to all situations as well as to all Scripture.”

By relating the cross as essential to the life of the believer, Professor L.E. Maxwell simply and practically shows how an understanding of our identification with Christ in his death and resurrection can lead to life as it was meant to be lived. It is by living with a cross-centered perspective that we can have both victory over sin and power to serve God well.

Maxwell's heart and vision for training up young people with the truth of God's Word and the necessity of evangelism shines forth in this little book. Readers know authenticity when they read it--and Maxwell exudes it.
