You won’t see these stories on CNN or read them in your local newspaper, but Jesus Christ is doing miracles in some of the most unlikely places around the world. And He can do so right where you live as well. Right now.

This book will help you break out of the box of limited Christianity and tap into God’s awesome power—like its author, whose faith has propelled him out of the boardroom and into villages in Mongolia, India, Congo, Cuba, and dozens of other needy nations. Dois Rosser has taken his earthly fortune and strategically invested it in the single most powerful means of changing the world today: building churches and broadcasting the gospel. In so doing, he has seized a big-picture vision that extends far beyond our church-as-usual experience in the United States.

Rosser takes you on a jolting jeep ride to a village in India, where feeble lepers are joyfully building their church, stone by stone. He invites you to a funeral in Cuba, where the gospel’s message of hope in the face of death brings a Communist tour guide to new life in Christ. You’ll journey to the Ganges River, to the biggest Hindu festival in world history; marvel at the miraculous healing that founded a church in Zimbabwe; and visit a Ukrainian church built with government-donated bricks—from a former Soviet missile silo. And with Cambodian villagers staring execution in the face, you’ll stand in awe at the power and mercy of the God who hung on a cross.

But The God Who Hung on the Cross is not just an armchair travelogue for comfortable Christians. Its exotic tales from abroad can change your life here at home. You’ll discover that when you let go of “your” time and “your” treasure, you can experience the abundant, liberating power of God at work—not just in far-flung places around the globe but in your own journey with Christ, wherever you walk with him.

Christ is building his church, just as he said he would, and as He does, He delights in using any ordinary person to accomplish His great miracles. The God Who Hung on the Cross holds up an exhilarating vision of the body of Christ at work in the world—and equips you for the small but significant opportunities of everyday life.

Dois I. Rosser Jr. is chairman of the POMOCO Auto Group and chairman and founder of International Cooperating Ministries. He has served on the boards of Prison Fellowship Ministries, Trans World Radio, the Lausanne Conference for World Evangelism, and Leighton Ford Ministries. He lives in Hampton, Virginia, with his wife.

Ellen Vaughn is an award-winning author and speaker. She speaks frequently at Christian retreats and has been featured at writers’ seminars in the US and Canada. A native of Washington DC, Vaughn and her husband, Lee, live in Virginia with daughter Emily, twins Walker and Haley, and an enormous dog named after C. S. Lewis.

Pam Ward, an AudioFile Earphones Award–winning narrator, found her true calling reading books for the blind and physically handicapped for the Library of Congress’ Talking Books program. The fact that she can work with Blackstone Audio from the beauty of the mountains of Southern Oregon is an unexpected bonus.

Grover Gardner has recorded more than 650 audiobooks since beginning his career in 1981.  He's been named one of the "Best Voices of the Century" as well as a "Golden Voice" by AudioFile magazine.  Gardner has garnered over 20 AudioFile Earphones Awards and is the recipient of an Audio Publishers Association Audie Award, as well as a three-time finalist.  In 2005, Publishers Weekly deemed him "Audiobook Narrator of the Year."

 

Gardner has also narrated hundreds of audiobooks under the names Tom Parker and Alexander Adams.  Among his many titles are Marcus Sakey's At the City's Edge, as well as Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and John Irving's The Cider House Rules.  Gardner studied Theater and Art History at Rollins College and received a Master's degree in Acting from George Washington University.  He lives in Oregon with his significant other and daughter.

Reviews

“The story of The God Who Hung on the Cross, a tale of miraculous salvation from Cambodia, will become a favorite sermon illustration for many pastors. Readers will find themselves looking around for someone to tell, ‘You’ve got to hear this story!’…The book is filled with powerful illustrations of God using ordinary people and meager resources to do extraordinary things.” 

“Never has it been more strategic for the body of Christ around the world to demonstrate our true unity in him. This book is for believers who are ready to respond to God’s great call for his church today.”

“If you want to break through to the blessed life, read The God Who Hung on the Cross! It is the incredible journey of a business man who broke out of the boxes of conventional Christianity. Its key can set us free to be used by the God who loves to surprise us—the God who delights in using any ordinary person for his extraordinary purposes.”

“Dois…shows us that it is never too late in life to take on something big for God…This is the remarkable story of the difference one person, fully committed to Christ, can make.”
