"Evangelicals love the evangel-- the gospel-- and they love to share it. Trouble is they don't always know the gospel, and they don't always proclaim the true gospel. This clear, comprehensive, and compelling book reminds us just how good the Good News is. It will help Christians, churches, and church leaders know, love, and proclaim the true life-giving gospel of Jesus Christ. Read this book-- and then go tell it on a mountain." Stephen J. Nichols, Ph.D., President of Reformation Bible College, Chief Academic Officer of Ligonier Ministries "A clear and biblical guide to the doctrine of soteriology that's deeply theological and yet simple enough for laypersons in your church." Timothy Paul Jones, Ph.D., Professor of Apologetics and Family Ministry, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary "In forceful and direct terms, Talley challenges readers to think about some of the most basic and important matters of the Christian life. What is the gospel, and how should we communicate the gospel to others? Talley helps readers of all levels to come to greater clarity in understanding the gospel we are called to believe and to share with the world." Guy Prentiss Waters, Ph.D., James M. Baird, Jr. Professor of New Testament, Reformed Theological Seminary "Pastor Trey Talley provides a robustly biblical articulation of the good news of God's grace to guilty sinners, through Jesus Christ. His exposition of the indispensable components of Paul's gospel from Romans shows the standard that our presentations of the gospel, whether in public preaching or in personal evangelism, must meet. Pastor Talley pulls no punches in his critique of defective and misleading approaches to evangelism; but his boldness is driven by the high stakes involved: eternal life and joy in communion with the living God, or eternal condemnation and anguish under God's just wrath. Words matter, and this book shows how crucial it is for us to choose our words well as we speak on behalf of the God of holiness and mercy, into the lives of people who desperately need to be reconciled to him, through the only mediator between God and humans, Christ Jesus, son of God and son of David." Dennis E. Johnson, Ph.D., Professor Emeritus of Practical Theology, Westminster Seminary California Brief Overview: Would you like to know and understand the doctrine of salvation better? Do you desire to communicate the gospel clearly, correctly, and without confusion? Do you have questions about your salvation or the salvation of others? Would you like to be able to witness to your friends, co-workers, and family members with confidence that you are sharing your faith the right way? If so, then this handbook on evangelism is for you! The details of the gospel have become less known by professing Christians and have been replaced with gospel distortions which are powerless to save. Professing Christians have added, subtracted, softened, and twisted the gospel to the point that creative license with the gospel is now the norm. However, false gospels only produce false Christians who have a false assurance of salvation. What is the solution? We need Christians who know, believe, and share the true gospel of God. Stylistically similar to Dr. R. C. Sproul, Dr. Trey Talley, a church planter, elder, and doctoral graduate of Ligonier Academy, takes on this task with theological precision, yet with a teaching style that is simple and straight forward.
