Summary:

"Deine Reich komme," Hitler prayed publicly--"Thy Kingdom come." But to whose kingdom was he referring? When Germany truly needed a savior, Adolf Hitler falsely stepped in. He directed his countrymen to a cross, but he bent and hammered the true cross into a horrific substitute: a swastika. Where was the church through all of this? With a few exceptions, the German church looked away while Hitler inflicted his final solution upon the Jews. Hitler's Cross is a chilling historical account of what happens when evil meets a silent, shrinking church, and also an expos©♭ of modern America's own hidden crosses. Pastor Erwin Lutzer extracts several lessons from this dark chapter in history, such as the dangers of confusing church and state, the role of God in human tragedy, and the parameters of Satan's freedom. Hitler's Cross is the story of a nation whose church forgot its call and discovered its failure way too late. It is a cautionary tale for every church and Christian to remember who the true King is.
