Free eBook: “The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus”

GoodSeed Ministries is now offering one of their cornerstone books for free download!

The Stranger on the Road to Emmaus by John R. Cross is a great one-volume work that examines the storyline of the Bible and how Jesus is the common thread seen all throughout the Bible.

Cross focuses on the primary message of the Bible, taking a ground-up approach, focusing on the very basics of the faith before building on concepts. He starts at the beginning and continues to the death and resurrection of Christ, quoting the Scriptures 1100+ times along the way.

Here is Amazon‘s description of the book:

“It’s been called the most misunderstood book in history.

Wars have been fought in its name, scandals have been precipitated by it, politics shaped and reshaped at its word. Theologians have both defended and reviled it. Skeptics have done the same. If you are a typical member of the human race, you have often been perplexed by all the fuss surrounding the Bible. The question remains, ‘What does it really say?’

Here is a book that explains the greatest of Bible themes clearly and logically. Rather than focusing on one part and missing the whole, the author chronologically binds together the entire text into one great universal drama, looking at events from the perspective of those who experienced history in the making. The results are sometimes comical, sometimes frightening but always true to the intent of the text.

When you are done reading it, you may find yourself believing the Book like you never have before. Or you may decide not to. The author’s objective approach leaves that decision up to you.”

I would recommend this book for people who are new to the Bible, believers and unbelievers alike, because it is an easy-to-understand summary of the Bible. One Amazon reviewer called it a “280 page gospel tract.” (Scroll below to see the table of contents)
