The title may sound contradictory to readers who have an image of L.E. Maxwell as the preacher of "Death to Self." But "the Crucified Life" was only a necessary step to Maxwell's real objective: vibrant, victorious life for everyone.The Principal of Prairie Bible Institute exuded a zest for life. He passionately wanted students to get past the death march and dance for joy in "all the riches in Christ Jesus." He wanted them to know "the power of the resurrection" in daily living. That's why students from around the globe sought him out.How did a careless youth end up as a prophet for his day? How did his powerful mentoring stack up in the lives of thousands of men and women he motivated to serve at home and around the globe? What effect did "life with father" have on his own seven children? This book is about the whole pilgrimage.
