“This compelling reflection on Isaiah’s extraordinary portrait of the Servant has a simplicity and directness which will provoke surprise, gratitude and worship. Pastoral and devotional in tone, it illuminates these remarkable chapters through thought-provoking illustration and application that will warm the heart, strengthen faith and encourage mission. A wonderful resource for spiritual renewal!” JONATHAN LAMB, Minister-at-large, Keswick Ministries; IFES Vice-President; Former Director of Langham Preaching
“The Beauty of the Cross is a wonderful resource for meaningful reflection on our Lord’s finished work at Calvary. Tim Chester does a fine job of focusing on rich texts in Isaiah 52 – 53, and then leads the reader to pray, meditate and praise our great God for his perfect plan of redemption. Poignant quotes from church fathers and others, as well as personal illustrations, are value added to this well-organized devotional. It’s a treasure! The Beauty of the Cross will be a great addition to any believer’s library.” MARY K. MOHLER, Author, Growing in Gratitude “This is a book to savour! Tim Chester has done an exquisite job in
walking us gently through the richness of Isaiah’s vision of Jesus Christ, the Servant of the Lord, as he walks to (and through) his death in our place. Beautifully paced, theologically rich and deeply rooted in the real world—take it, read it slowly, and drink in its Christ-saturated truth!” GARY MILLAR, Principal, Queensland Theological College “Tim brings readers right into the bright light of Lent—Christ the
Lord. Like the old hymn, Chester’s meditations and expositions from Isaiah invite you to turn your eyes upon Jesus, to look fully at the face of the suffering Servant, and to see how the things of earth grow dim in the divine wattage of Christ’s glory and grace.” JEFF MEDDERS, Lead Pastor, Redeemer Church, Tomball, Texas; Author, Humble Calvinism and Rooted
