review 1: This is the best explanation of the Gospel you will find outside the Gospels. I would make this an essential read for any Christian, especially new Christians in evangelical communities. Far to often Christianity (especially evangelicalism) starts with many things other than Jesus; great commission, inerrancy, moral living, the cost of discipleship, even the atonement. Though a bit repetitive (which operates in a necessary way and a constant reminder, for this is often forgotten), it drives home the necessity of starting with Jesus who is the Gospel. Jesus is the starting and ending point. Christianity never begins with what we do for God, but what he has done for us. I found incredible freedom from moralism, legalism, and preformancism in this book. No longer do I need to... more hide behind my "stunning" moral integrity or philanthropy, but I am free to be authentic, honest and broken because there is nothing that Jesus has not already done.
review 2: Now this book is good little book. I struggled with how to write this review because of some I the controversy involving antinomianism (look it up on Theopedia.com if you are not familiar) and to be honest I don't know where this book comes down on it. He seems to think that our justification assures us of our sanctification. Which in one way is true in that God is who makes us holy but it also seems to slide towards the aforementioned antinomianism, but I think we can get a lot from this book whether it is antinomian or not especially with how much the focus is on the gospel and justification. On that level the book is great. But to be honest go listen to the sermon series by the same name preached by the author it is an amazing series especially the last five sermons where he applies the living out the gospel daily! Incredible stuff! You could do a lot worse than this book. Enjoy!! less
