"Farley has given us a beautiful book that "lifts high the cross" and thus imparts mercy and grace for the Christian life. Outrageous Mercy is a book to read and reread."
-R. Kent Hughes, College Church, Wheaton, Illinois
"It's so easy to forget the gospel and to try to live a "good Christian life" in your own strength. Bill Farley has created a winsome reminder of how essential, radical, and mind-blowingly merciful the gospel actually is. This is a great book for new believers, but it's even more useful for established believers battling spiritual weariness. It's a splash of cold water to the dry soul."
-Carolyn McCulley, Sovereign Grace Ministries, author
"This book has obviously been forged out on the anvil of sincere thought and real living. There is no hype or fluff. . . . God's people very much need to hear and heed these words. The message has been like strong medicine to me, helping me to see my own shameful self-centeredness and to become re-centered on what is truly most important."
-Neil W. Anderson, Wycliffe Bible translator, author
"The Latin word for cross is crux. In this fine book on the cross, Bill Farley takes us to the crux of the Christian faith. Outrageous Mercy indeed."
-Douglas Wilson, Christ Church, Moscow, Idaho
"A powerful, cross-centered book. I especially appreciate the straightforwardness of the content. The fact is that we are surrounded by a church culture that does not routinely valuethe Cross. Farley does a good job explaining how churches degenerate but he also does a great job showing the biblical basis and daily implications of the cross."
- Tony Reinke, The Shepherd's Scrapbook
"Bill Farley has written a magnum opus on the centrality of the cross in Christian life. . . . The cross is presented as not simply an historical cross . . . but a present-day multi-faceted cross - a means of death that God asks us to embrace on a daily basis in order to find life. Farley explores with penetrating insight how we can do so. This book represents a significant contribution to the church's understanding of the significance of the cross. I cannot recommend it highly enough."
-Robert Andrews, author
"[Farley's] argument is bracing and presented with clarity. . . . I found his work stimulating for meditating upon and proclaiming the faith."
-Robert Carroll Walters, The Living Church
"Farley writes logically and practically . . . With passion and sensitivity, he calls the church back to the biblical doctrine of the cross. It's a needed message in the church today."
-CBA Marketplace
"The chapter on suffering presents a comforting view, and the one on worship is an excellent treatise on meaningful worship. . . . Eleven subdivided chapters make this book usable for elective study on Sunday morning, but it's also basic doctrine for individual study."
-Church Libraries
"Farley is a strong writer with a memorable, hard hitting message. . . . He speaks the truth in love and humility."
