Chapter 2 – Paul's First Sight of the CrossIn Chapter 2 of All Things New, Jessie Penn-Lewis turns to Paul's first sight of the cross and the life-changing revelation it brought. What once seemed weakness and shame became, in the light of Christ, the wisdom and power of God. This chapter shows how the cross not only reveals the love of Christ, but also brings an end to self-confidence, self-righteousness, and all that stands in the place of full surrender. It is a searching and hope-filled chapter that reminds us that when we truly see the cross, we begin to discover a life in Christ that is immeasurably more.All Things New book is available on Amazon.Theme music: “Relaxing Soft Piano Music” by Viacheslav Starostin, used with gratitude.We would like to pray for you.

Chapter 1 – The Cross “Before the World Was”In Chapter 1 of All Things New, Jessie Penn-Lewis begins at the deepest possible place: the cross in the eternal purpose of God. Long before Calvary, before the fall, and before the world itself, the Lamb was in the heart of God. This opening chapter invites us to see the cross not as an afterthought, but as the center of His redemptive plan—revealing a love, wisdom, and purpose that existed before time began. It is a rich and worshipful beginning that lifts our eyes to the greatness of Christ and reminds us that in Him, God is always doing immeasurably more.All Things New book is available on Amazon.Theme music: “Relaxing Soft Piano Music” by Viacheslav Starostin, used with gratitude.We would like to pray for you.
