Preview The Crucified Life: How to Live Out a Deeper Christian Experience
"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me; and the life which now I live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me."
The apostle Paul declared in his letter to the Galatians that he had been “crucified with Christ.” But what does this mean? Is this a claim every believer can and should make? The Crucified Life is a comprehensive exploration of these questions, answered with the deep, biblical thinking for which Tozer was revered. “God is ingenious in developing crosses for His followers,” Tozer was fond of saying. At the heart of the book is a call to believers to follow Christ to the Cross and be raised to new life—a call to live and thrive in the crucified life.

Lundeen’s delivery of Tozer’s beliefs on faith—what true faith looks like and why faith must be seen—sounds fully genuine. He cites Tozer’s famous quote—“God is ingenious in developing crosses for His followers”—to describe life’s storms. Lundeen then continues with Tozer’s differentiation between Old Testament followers, who continued their pursuit of God, and New Testament believers, who act as if accepting Christ were enough. Lundeen powerfully delivers Tozer’s ideas about why believers should seek more of Christ, grow spiritually, and carry out a true relationship with Christ. The theme is summed up in the question, “What will you do with Jesus?” "
