Synopsis

No Cross No Crown

A Modern Reprint of Part 1 of William Penn's Original Manuscript

Centuries ago, William Penn presented a wonderful and wise argument for the Christian life to the scoffers of his day. Although much time has passed, the truths are spiritual insight contained in his manuscript remain as sharp today as they were then. What is true worship? How can faith without works or action be a true testimony? Who is a true disciple of Christ who does not take up his or her cross?

The modified and somewhat modernized reprint consists of only the first part of his original; it is the heart of his treatise. In it William Penn passionately defends the case of Christ and tenderly urges you to take up your cross. For without the cross, there is no crown.

About this title

About the Author:

William Penn (1644-1718) founded Pennsylvania as a "Holy Experiment" under Charles II. He was a well-known proponent of religious freedom and tolerance in England and parts of Europe, specifically as a Quaker. His convictions landed him in jail several times. He wrote No Cross, No Crown while imprisoned in the Tower of London. As is the case with most who carry the truth of the gospel so passionately, he spend much time in prison for what he believed.

Review:

This contemorary version of No Cross, No Crown provides a great reminder of William Penn's influen ce in the founding of the United States, and, more importantly, Penn's timeless message of our individual need to be on fire for Christ. --Alan Garner, President & CEO, Volunteers of America of Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania's beautiful capitol building honors our Commonwealth's founder, William Penn, both with mosaic of his famous prayer, that God would make his land the seed of a nation, and with a set of murals depicting his faith conversion and voyage to the New World. No, through this modern translation of his book, we are afforded a deeper look at this great man. What a gift! --Michael Geer, President, Pennsylvania Family Institute

No Cross, No Crown is a timeless adventure into the words and thoughts of William Penn. His vast, spiritual knowledge provides an inspiring, educational, and motivating study of Christ and his cross. --Donna Watson, PhD, Author
