‘Gospel’ is a revolutionary book that aims to put the gospel back into the heart of the Church.
The gospel was all the early church talked about, the gospel toppled an empire and the gospel was the central message of a revolutionary leader that began our revolutionary movement – so let’s reclaim it.
J.D. Greear, American author and pastor, questions whether the Evangelical Church has misplaced the gospel? Having lost sight of the gospel, the church has concerned itself with cultural, moral, and legal issues in society. Greear’s clears the religious, superficial fog and cuts the legal tape to reintroduce the simplicity and importance of the gospel.
Greear has split his message into three clear sections:
1. How the Gospel Does What Religion Cannot:
Discover why and how religion can never do what the gospel does: change your heart. With this clear and understandable foundation, you’ll be ready to become gospel-focused.
2. The Gospel Prayer:
This is the main section of the book, encouraging you to practice ‘The Gospel Prayer’ daily. In saturating yourself in the scripture and ‘praying’ the gospel, you will release a deeper relationship with God.
3. Towards a Gospel-Centred Understanding of Life:
Guiding you towards what a Gospel-Centred church looks like, offering practical advice.
The gospel is the power of God, and this book will help you to reclaim, regain and reinvigorate that power in your life.
About the Author
J. D. Greear is lead pastor of The Summit Church, a multi-site congregation in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina. He holds an M.Div. in International Church Planting and a Ph.D. in Systematic Theology from the Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Greear also lived and worked among Muslims in Southeast Asia for two years and wrote Breaking the Islam Code. He and his wife have four children.
Could the gospel be lost in evangelical churches? In this book, J.D. Greear shows how moralism and legalism have often eclipsed the gospel, even in conservative churches. Gospel cuts through the superficiality of religion and reacquaints you with the revolutionary truth of God's gracious acceptance of us in Christ. The gospel is the power of God, and the only true source of joy, freedom, radical generosity, and audacious faith. The gospel produces in us what religion never could: a heart that desires God.
The book's core is a "gospel prayer" by which you can saturate yourself in the gospel daily. Dwelling on the gospel will release in you new depths of passion for God and take you to new heights of obedience to Him. Gospel gives you an applicable, exciting vision of how God will use you to bring His healing to the world.
