Scars: His, Theirs and Ours

by Gardner Hall

The wounds and scars of early Christians became a symbol of their unwavering faith. Vance Havner pointed out that at the Nicene Council in the 4th century A.D., of the 318 delegates attending, “fewer than 12 had not lost an eye or lost a hand or did not limp on a leg lamed by torture for their Christian faith.” Their scars were a part of a three-hundred-year legacy of being on the receiving end of merciless torture. It was the will of God that his witnesses and early followers receive every angry blow and that every wound leave its mark. Why? Because scars are powerful witnesses, speaking more powerfully than words ever can. And what are their scars telling us? What can they teach us about dealing with our own wounds and scars? That is the message of this book.

The Good Samaritan. You’ve heard of him. It is one of the most well-known stories in Scripture. Or is it? If you’re like Edwin Crozier, you knew this story better than most, but didn’t know it at all.

Walk through this story with fresh eyes, discovering Jesus’s truly shocking answers to the lawyer’s trick questions about eternal life and neighborly love.

Edwin puts the story in modern terms, placing the reader right in the middle of Jesus’s parable, and then turns it as a mirror on himself and every reader, shaking us out of our easy-chairs.

If you are looking for a book to pat you on the back and be satisfied with how you love God and others, this is not the book for you. If you are looking for a challenge which can only be met by relying on God and His grace, you might just want to get to know the Good Samaritan a little better.
