No Cross No Crown: A Discourse Showing the Nature and Discipline of the Holy Cross of Christ; and That the Denial of Self

While in a London prison in 1668, William Penn wrote No Cross, No Crown. This was his most famous work and is a discourse on the power of the cross and self-denial. In dramatic and persuasive style Penn portrays the beauty and power of the cross as the only pathway to the crown. Christ’s cross, is Christ’s way to Christ’s crown. Penn’s great passion was that this book would win the heart of man for his beloved Master.
