This book is the result of a series of sermons preached during a three weeks' Evangelistic Mission in the Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, and blessed of God in the salvation of some, while many Christians confessed that they were strengthened in faith and brightened in hope by hearing the old familiar truth restated, emphasized and illustrated. They were then published serially in a weekly religious paper, and echoes of blessing have come to us from all parts of the English-speaking world. They are now put into this more permanent shape, in the hope that they may continue to bear their testimony to the heart-truth of Christianity, without which all else is pulseless and powerless. - Preface.

The Cross is the central theme of the Gospel message; it is the heart and soul of our salvation. Paul, the minister to the Gentiles, said, "God forbid that I should glory save in the Cross ..." Every chapter in Dr. Dixon's book is filled with truth concerning the Cross. All believers who read his message should have a greater appreciation of the meaning of the Cross than ever before. - Foreword / Oliver B. Greene.
