Description
In The Cup and Cross of Christianity, Author Crystal McDaniel-Freeman explains the true cost of being called a disciple of Christ. She not only provides insight on the purpose of suffering in the life of a believer, but she also gives hope in the face of it. This book destroys the false illusion that Christianity ensures a life of wealth and happiness, and instead gives a more balanced view of the problems, perils, and persecution that it often attracts. By dissecting the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, Mrs. Freeman explains how one's cross is necessary to be counted worthy of the Kingdom. Despite the bitterness of one's cup or the heaviness of one's cross, this must-read book offers encouragement when it's needed the most.
