The Man on the Middle Cross Released September 2025
Leyland, England, UK – March 2026. Truth For Life and 10Publishing are pleased to announce that The Man on the Middle Cross by Alistair Begg has now sold more than one million copies in the English language since its release in September 2025.
“The central focus at 10Publishing is seeing winsome, accessible, faithful and affordable evangelistic literature being produced and distributed,” says 10ofthose President, Jonathan Carswell. “This is a prime example of what God can do as these things combine.”
Stories are coming in each week of how God is using the book around the world: from the couple who trusted the Lord and were baptised after reading it, to prison ministries distributing hundreds to those incarcerated.
Since its release 6 months ago, churches, ministries, and individuals around the world have used The Man on the Middle Cross as a simple and compelling evangelistic resource. The book has been distributed through churches, outreach events, and conferences, as well as through major retailers and ministry partners.
Inspired by Alistair Begg’s viral sermon clip, the book retells the stories of three people who encountered Jesus and responded to his invitation of grace. It encourages readers to consider what answer they would give when arriving at the gates of heaven and presented with the question: “On what basis are you here?”
Along with major retail outlets, the book is also available at 10ofthose.com, who provide the bookstore for Revive Our Hearts, The Gospel Coalition, Radical, and Getty Music among many others.
Alistair Begg is the Bible teacher at Truth For Life, a worldwide radio and digital ministry. He served as Senior Pastor at Parkside Church in Cleveland, Ohio, for more than forty years. He graduated from theological college in London and served two churches in Scotland before moving to Ohio. He is married to Susan, and they have three grown children.
