In this brief and easy-to-read IVP booklet, C. Baxter Kruger vividly retells the parable of the prodigal son (including the full text of Luke 15:1-32). His fresh interpretation focuses not on the prodigal son, but on the character of the father as it is revealed through his interaction with his two very different sons. Baxter asks you to consider with which son you most identify--the dutiful elder brother or the wayward younger brother. Then he helps you explore the spiritual implications of that identification. Finally, he shows you how an examination of the father of the two sons highlights important aspects of God's character: rejoicing, compassion and more.  You'll come away from this short but profound study with new insight into the ways God the Father is at work in your own life.

El Secreto (Spanish Edition)

La Gran Danza es una obra maestra, una visión épica y asombrosa de la vida humana y el misterio de su intersección con la vida del Dios Trino. El Dr. Kruger traza un curso desde la Trinidad hasta la encarnación y la unión de la humanidad con Dios en Jesucristo. Bajo esa luz, ofrece una interpretación impresionante de nuestra existencia humana como participación en la vida del Padre, el Hijo y el Espíritu. Él descubre la dignidad incalculable de nuestra humanidad ordinaria, desde la maternidad hasta el béisbol, desde las relaciones y la música hasta el golf, la jardinería y el diseño de lagos. Este es un libro sobre quiénes somos y por qué estamos aquí y lo que realmente está sucediendo en nuestras vidas. Paso a paso, el Dr. Kruger nos guía a través de las estratagemas del mal y los líos que hacemos de nuestras vidas. Más importante aún, explica por qué nos duele, qué buscamos realmente y cómo llegar allí, y por qué la fe en Jesucristo es tan crítica para la vida abundante. La Gran Danza es teología en su mejor momento, impregnada de tradición, pero desconocida y emocionante, incluso revolucionaria; profundamente personal y honesto, pero universalmente relevante. Escrita con ritmo, poesía y gracia encantadora, La Gran Danza es la voz de la antigua iglesia que nos habla a través de los siglos a través de la pluma de un sureño que ama la vida.

घ: एक असाांत््वनीय सापना (Hindi Edition)

The Mediation of Jesus Christ by C. Baxter Kruger, Ph.D., is a theologically rich and deeply personal essay that encapsulates decades of the author's exploration into the heart of the Christian gospel. With clarity, insight, and profound reverence, Kruger unpacks the astonishing truth that Jesus Christ is not merely a historical figure or divine emissary, but the eternal Son of the Father, the Anointed One in the Holy Spirit, and the Mediator through whom all creation came into being and is sustained. 
Kruger confronts what he considers a fundamental flaw in much of Western Christianity: the assumption of separation between humanity and God. This "blind spot" has, according to Kruger, fragmented our theology and lives, fostering individualism, religious division, and spiritual performance. Against this, Kruger boldly proclaims that Jesus is not only the Creator but also the unbroken connection between fallen humanity and the Triune God. 
Drawing heavily from Scripture, the writings of Church Fathers like Athanasius, and theologians such as Calvin, Torrance, and Barth, Kruger develops the stunning theological claim that Jesus' life, death, resurrection, and ascension involved not just a divine act for us, but with us and in us. Jesus is not distant. We were included in His journey-His crucifixion was our crucifixion, His resurrection our resurrection. This incarnational lens challenges the transactional gospel and offers a relational, transformative understanding of salvation. 
The book explores six major themes: Jesus Christ as the Mediator of Creation - As the One through whom all things were made, Jesus holds the cosmos together. He is the source and sustainer of life. The Lamb of God - In surrendering to death at our hands, Jesus enters the deepest darkness of human rebellion and rejection, using even our hatred as a means to restore and solidify our union with God. The Role of the Holy Spirit - The Spirit is not a separate actor but moves in oneness with Jesus, illuminating our inclusion in Him and revealing the Father's love from within our blindness. The Gospel's Summons - Salvation is not about entering a relationship with Jesus but awakening to the one that already exists. Faith is not what establishes this union, but what recognizes it. Jesus Christ as the Eternal Gospel - The gospel is not a plan but a Person. In Him, we see the eternal intentions and unwavering love of God made flesh. The Community of Believers - The Church is called not to strive for connection with God but to live from the truth of already being included in the divine fellowship. 
Kruger writes not only as a theologian but as a pastor and teacher with a heart for seeing people transformed by the revelation of their identity in Christ. His language is both theologically robust and poetically rich, inviting readers to meditate deeply on the truths presented. 
Ultimately, The Mediation of Jesus Christ is a work of hope. It proclaims that Jesus didn't come to rescue us from an angry God, but to reveal a Father who has always loved us. In Jesus, our union with the Trinity is real, present, and unbreakable-whether we know it or not.
