Strange Kingdom by Ken Costa Book Summary

Experience how the power of the cross unleashes meaning and purpose in the midst of your daily life.

This meditative and spiritual reflection by Ken Costa considers the cross and the king who died upon it. Christ’s work on the cross established a kingdom that is strange indeed, if a king died on the cross in order to establish it. It is a kingdom where suffering and abandonment are transformed into the power of presence and live, a kingdom where a King exchanges gifts of great value for worthless dross, where a robber becomes righteous, and a criminal becomes the first citizen of heaven. Spend some time as Easter draws near considering the strange, upside-down kingdom, where broken things are made whole.

“A king who dies on the cross must be the king of a rather strange kingdom.” —Dietrich Bonhoeffer
