Putting the Cross Front and Center

By: James W Parker

Narrated by: Christopher Coke

Borntwice: Putting the Cross Front and Center is a powerful collection of Christian poetry that brings the redemptive story of God's love into sharp focus. Through vivid verses, this book explores the depth of Christ's sacrifice—His death, burial, and resurrection—and how these events transform lives. With raw honesty, it delves into the struggles of wandering away from God, the longing for His return, and the beauty of surrendering one's life completely to Him.

Each poem centers around the life-changing power of the cross, reflecting on themes of salvation, grace, and the unshakeable love that calls us to return to Him. From the questions of why anyone would turn away from such incredible love to the joyous declaration of Christ living through us, the collection explores the journey of faith—starting in college and continuing through the years of life.

Borntwice speaks of loving God with all our heart, being unashamed of the gospel, and living a life marked by worship, praise, and purpose. It reflects on the power of being crucified with Christ and allowing Him to live through us, while also wrestling with the challenge of taming the tongue and living out God's truth in the world.

In this collection, listeners are invited to reflect on their own spiritual journeys, to embrace the cross at the center of their lives, and to boldly proclaim the salvation found in Christ. Borntwice is a call to put the cross at the heart of our faith, to surrender completely, and to live out a life of love and witness to the world.
