Too few people attending church today, even those in evangelical churches, are exposed to the gospel explicitly. Sure, many will hear about Jesus, and about being good and avoiding bad, but the gospel message simply isn't there—at least not in its specificity and its fullness. Inspired by the needs of both the overchurched and the unchurched, and bolstered by the common neglect of the explicit gospel within Christianity, Matt Chandler has written this punchy treatise. He begins with the specifics of the gospel—outlining what it is and what it is not—and then switches gears to focus on the fullness of the gospel and its massive implications on both personal and cosmic levels. Recognizing our tendency to fixate on either the micro or macro aspects of the gospel, Chandler also warns us of the dangers on either side—of becoming overly individualistic or syncretistic. Here is a call to true Christianity, to know the gospel explicitly, and to unite the church on the amazing grounds of the good news of Jesus!

      Pastor Chandler, a minister in Dallas, Texas, fears the message of the gospel has been watered down. Some preachers, Chandler believes, focus on a Christianity that is more about cultural identity than what the old-school gospel message really means. Narrator David Heath delivers Chandler's three-part message at a thoughtful pace. The first part, about God's holiness and the nature of sin, is rendered with persuasive clarity. The second part, about God's complex plan for restoration of our world, nature, and the return of Jesus, is delivered with brief pauses that show the topics' importance. The author ties both viewpoints together in the third section in which he shows the merit of both views, each adding meaning to the other. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine
