A devastating war, a burning cross, a crime network, and a victorious general--these are some of the many threads Had¿i¿ and Irby weave together to clarify one of history's most misunderstood symbols: the cross. The authors interweave Had¿i¿'s story with that of the cross in a way that seeks to rescue the true meaning of the cross from its misrepresentations and misuses throughout history. The result is a compelling tapestry that illuminates the transformative power of one of the most complex and controversial symbols in today's global community. Slavko Had¿i¿ is the pastor of a local church in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, a regional coordinator for Langham Preaching International, and a frequent speaker on university campuses throughout Europe. Joshua Irby is the national coordinator for Cru in Bosnia-Herzegovina and an avid student of the region's history. He is the author of Meeting Miss Irby (2012).
