review 1: Best Christian book I have read in the last ten years! So glad God led me to this book! I never listen to WDCX Lifeline, but happened to have it on for about 15 min. and heard Andrew Farley answering call-ins and liked everything he said, so I bought 2 of his books. I read this in 4 days! This book summed up everything I have learned over the last 3 years of my journey. Each chapter, I said to myself, "Wow! I can't believe he's covering this too, and this!" Some things he addressed I was hearing for the first time, though, some I feel need more personal study from me, before I can fully trust them, and some blew me away they made so much sense from Scripture! I renewed my desire to study Hebrews again, which this book draws heavily from and I encourage anyone who picks thi... mores book up to be familiar with Hebrews first, because it will help in understanding some of the concepts. If anything, this book deftly and thoroughly covers the Gospel in a way, in which, you will walk away praising God, encouraged to study His Word, and thrilled with being His child!
review 2: Imagine the gospel message delivered exactly like the Bible gives it--no additives, all natural. Imagine that message--so often distorted by Law-practicing and guilt-bearing--delivered by a pastor of a Texas church for us common people, as God intended.Yet again, this is a book that will change your life, if you're ready for the truth in its pages. Farley attacks the age-long myths of false humility and keeping of the Mosaic Law as Christians. He continuously asks the reader to answer for himself--how complete is God's complete, once-for-all forgiveness?When I read this book, I realized the contradictory ideas modernism has supplanted for the true gospel message. Terms in the Books of Romans and Hebrews are studied more carefully, and the new life in Christ--at salvation and as a lifestyle--is drilled into the reader. The pure Word is not hidden in this book which will take Watchman Nee fans to a point of revolution in their Christian communities (mine is in upheaval but God is being lifted up).This is the first book in my library that I have given copies to seven of my friends, and it has had no small impact. One man accepted Christ, realizing he'd never understood the gospel until reading The Naked Gospel. (Thank you, Andrew Farley.)Read this book. Tell me how it put you into your Bible more and the flesh less. I give The Naked Gospel five stars and highly recommend that every Christian leader read it. David Telbat less
