Today on Real Life Radio. We're not going to a movie. We're not going to a play. We're not going to an angel game. We're not going to a Dodger game. We are going to church. It is a divine thing. A lot of people today don't want to make it a divine thing, and that's their loss. It is a big deal. This is Real Life. Welcome to Real Life Radio with Pastor Jack Hibbs.

I'm David Jay thanking you for joining us today as we listen, learn, and are challenged by God's Word, the Bible.

Born Crucified, it's a book by Ellie Maxwell.

In this book, you'll discover what it truly means to live in a cross-centered life.

This short but very powerful book is a classic for every Christian's library.

Born Crucified.
