Erwin Lutzer's "Hilter's Cross" is an eye-opening book into the rise of Nazi Germany. A foundation was laid that prepared the way for Adolf Hitler; politically, spiritually, and philosophically, argues Lutzer. Spiritual forces that were at work are exposed by the author in ways that may have been unknown to many readers.
Erwin W. Lutzer is Pastor Emeritus of The Moody Church where he served as the Senior Pastor for 36 years. He is author of several books, and his teachings can be heard on three radio programs that are broadcasted here in the U.S. and around the globe.
From the back cover:
The story of Nazi Germany is one of conflict between two saviors and two crosses."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 assumed the role. 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 an intriguing and convicting exposé of modern America's own hidden crosses.
Erwin W. Lutzer extracts a number of lessons from this dark chapter in world history, such as:

Erwin W. Lutzer extracts a number of lessons from this dark chapter in world history, such as:
- The dangers of confusing church and state.
- How the church lost its focus.
- The role of God in human tragedy.
- The parameters of Satan's freedom.
- The Truth behind Hitler's hatred of the Jews.
- The faithfulness of God to His people who suffer for Him.
- Comparisons between Hitler's rise and the coming reign of the Antichrist.
- America's hidden cross-her dangerous trends.
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.
I have read and re-read this book, and highly recommend your adding it to your own libraries.
