The Attraction of the Cross was originally published in 1845, this is the ninth edition from 1854, revised in 2025 for readability but not abridged.
With deep pastoral care and a steady hand for truth, Gardiner Spring, beloved pastor and preacher, offers The Attraction of the Cross — a powerful appeal to anchor your heart in the saving work of Christ. Originally written for his own congregation, Spring’s timeless volume draws readers to the cross not as a lifeless symbol, but as the living center of God’s redeeming truth.
Rejecting shallow sentimentality, he boldly sets forth the doctrines of the Gospel with clarity and conviction, challenging believers to guard against a weak, watered-down faith. With warmth and urgency, Spring instructs, exhorts, and encourages, reminding the church of the robust, practical, and spiritual hope found only in Christ crucified.
A classic call to see, savor, and stand firm in the cross of Christ, this book remains as vital today as when first penned in 1845.
