Lion and Lamb: The Relentless Tenderness of Jesus was published in 1986 as a Chosen Book by Fleming H. Revell, 190 pages with a bibliography, and carries a foreword by Larry Crabb. It sets the two biblical images of Christ side by side, the Lion of Judah and the Lamb of God, and draws from the Gospel accounts a portrait of Jesus whose strength shows itself in tenderness toward sinners. Revell issued a revised edition in 2004 under the subtitle alone, The Relentless Tenderness of Jesus.
