Publisher's Description
Jesus was condemned... so we could be set free. He was wounded... so we can be healed. He died... so we might have life. Michael Card has been using music to plumb the depths of Christian teaching for over 30 years. After 30 albums, 5 Dove awards and 20 #1 hits--"Emmanuel" and "El Shaddai" among them--Card's capacity to breathe new life into ancient things is well known. In this new release--recorded live in 2010 in Houston, Texas--Card brings together many of his most memorable songs, from "Known by the Scars" to "Love Crucified Arose" in an extended musical meditation on the mystery of the cross. An ideal companion for Lent, this live session includes must-have takes of new and classic Michael Card songs from Invitation to Awe, The Life and more.

“Every encounter I've had with Michael Card has brought me closer to Jesus. I'm confident that this book will do the same.”
“Dietrich Bonhoeffer defined 'cheap grace' as grace without the cross. In these scalding pages, Michael Card touched my heart with the love of Christ crucified and led me to an unprecedented appreciation of undeserved grace.”
“What Michael Card sings at this level I most need: The inaudible strains of warm truth that fly from heart to heart and nourish the soul where all too few have fed. Loving God is hungry work and only those who hunger enough can feed the rest of us. Michael Card knows how to set such a table.”
“Always the careful teacher, Michael Card draws the church back to a much-needed look at the suffering Savior. Like me, you will gaze with astonished reverence at the One who endured such violence, then bow in humble adoration, crying, 'Lord, make me more like you.'”
