ABOUT THE GOSPEL BOOKLET

Today a variety of "gospel" messages flood the air waves and pulpits across the globe. They range from sentimental overtures encouraging the lost sinner to "invite Jesus into his heart," to threatening admonitions requiring the unbeliever to "repent of his sins." Not surprisingly, believer and unbeliever alike have been left in a state of confusion. Even when the Gospel is proclaimed clearly and accurately, the hearer will often filter the words of the evangelist through a preexisting grid of false gospels which he has already heard, so failing to understand the saving message of Jesus Christ. With this in mind, The Gospel Booklet was written not only to explain and illustrate those concepts essential to saving faith such as our Lord's atoning death and the doctrine of grace, but to address and correct much of the false teaching that is so often associated with the Christian Gospel. Clarifying so many complex theological issues in this short, easy-to-read booklet took close to five years of writing and editing. We know of no booklet in print today that presents the Gospel more clearly or accurately.

It is our desire to see The Gospel Booklet achieve the widest possible circulation. No royalties have ever been accepted by the author. Christian organizations making request are typically granted written permission to translate it or print it from their own facilities. Through the efforts of numerous churches and mission organizations, The Gospel Booklet has already been translated it into some of the world's major languages. If you would like to see it made available in a country or a language where it is not currently available, we invite you to contact us. Let's work together to make The Gospel Booklet available to all people in all languages.
