Short, sweet, and to the point. Read it in 2 sittings and left me glad and… recentered? Definitely worth the read.

The one caveat is that it’s as reformed and Protestant as you’d expect. Some would benefit from supplementing this with a sample of NT Wright or something a little Eastern Orthodox or something. This book is meat and potatoes for sure, just don’t forget your side salads.

Excelente, en realidad son 62 páginas sencillas de conocimiento certero, con múltiples versículos de la palabra de Dios que nos ayudan a comprender completamente, conceptos básicos para una persona nueva en la palabra de Dios. ¿que es el verdadero evangelio? y que implica en nuestra vidas, después de ser salvos, ampliamente recomendado

The True Gospel

I've heard the most popular "gospel" which the majority of people seem to accept. I "asked Jesus into my heart" when I was very young (around 7), and ever since then, I'd been as far away from Him as I could get. I was into everything, until He opened my eyes and caused me to break down, not because I feared going to hell, which had caused multiple breakdowns years ago, but because, looking back at my sinful life, I had seen nothing but Grace and Mercy. Every single time I had sinned, He had shown either mercy, or grace, or both, every single time. It upset me because I realized that God HATES sin, and that no matter what good He did for me, I did nothing but mock Him and spit on Him. I realized that I should be DEAD right now, but God is full of mercy and grace, so He not only allowed me to live, but He showered abundant blessings on me, which I should not have received. He truly loves me and does not want to see me perish, and because of all He did for me while I was still a wicked sinner, I am living for Him.

Paul Washer ha escrito este pequeño libro (de solo 64 páginas) explicando el evangelio. Es un libro muy útil para compartir con incrédulos. Será también de mucho beneficio para personas que profesan ser cristianas, pero que nunca han estudiado el evangelio y sus implicancias para nuestras vidas. El libro se divide en 6 breves secciones:

1. El carácter de Dios
2. El carácter de la humanidad
3. La respuesta de Dios a nuestro dilema
4. Nuestra respuesta
5. La seguridad de la salvación
6. Cómo debemos vivir

No hay un mensaje más importante en todo el universo y este libro lo explica de forma sencilla y clara. Abundante en citas bíblicas, es un libro recomendado para leer en una sentada y compartir con aquellos que necesitan de Cristo.

[Matthew Gasperoni · Rating 5 out of 5]

Definitely worth the hour. Not only to understand what you’re handing out if you decide to offer it to others—but it’s equally valuable for encouraging your own heart. In this short book is a wealth of reminders, promises, and even warnings—not only for explaining the gospel, but for continually washing ourselves in it as believers. I read it through mostly to take in the content, but now I want to go back and meditate on many of these truths more deeply. I honestly think I might place this in my “read once a year” category. Sometimes we can get so buried in study that we miss the beauty of the One we are studying.

Fantastic book. Concise yet meaty explanation of the gospel. Highly recommend.

[Andrew Silva · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very good resource to distribute in evangelism. Solid gospel presentation in simple, short format.

[Alex Y. · Rating 4 out of 5]

A gospel tract, but a well-written one with good Scripture references.

[Will O'kelley · Rating 5 out of 5]

While no book can serve as a substitute for an in-person sharing of the gospel, I was looking for a short little book that I could give to non-Christians that would simply and succinctly lay out the gospel. While I have read a lot of books on Christianity, I find that many of them are too complex or intimidating for most non-Christians to want to read. I decided to give this book a read, and was very pleased with how it presents gospel truth. I have great respect for Paul Washer, and I think he has given the church an excellent resource. Short enough to be read in one quick sitting, written with simple language, and filled with Scripture, this will be a go-to for me.

[Keven Bissonnette · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ce petit livret est un EXCELLENT outil d'évangélisation. Remplis des saintes Écritures. L'auteur rend très accessible les principes et doctrines élémentaires à la convertion. Un indispensable pour les nouveaux croyants. Je le recommande très fortement !

[Dwight Stone · Rating 5 out of 5]

A concise, thorough overview of the Gospel of the Scriptures. Washer does an excellent job of talking through each detail of what we as Christians believe. This book is beneficial for those new to the faith, those who still have questions, or those who believe and need guidance on how to preach the whole Gospel. Loved this little book!

[Brandon Sickling · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great afternoon read explaining the gospel in-depth, yet succinctly! A booklet short enough to be read in one sitting. I would highly recommend this to give to a non-believer interested in learning more about the faith. Nothing replaces word of mouth personal evangelism, but this could be an effective tool.

[Melanie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was a great little book on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is a quick, but expansive book on the Gospel and genuine faith. I loved all the Bible verses quoted and how easy of a listen the book was. The self-examinations in the book were good as well.

[Samuel · Rating 5 out of 5]

Solid, simple, thorough explanation of the details of the gospel written in a way that will appeal to an unbeliever to trust in Christ and also refresh the spirit of the believer with the truth of salvation.

[Justin Lakemacher · Rating 4 out of 5]

Concise, clear explanation of the Gospel making the distinction between the gospel and our response to the Gospel. Good resource to walk a new believer through or someone who wants to grow in understanding the gospel.

[Tony · Rating 4 out of 5]

I recently entered college ministry and am looking to build up my collection of brief, biblical resources. This is a highly readable, brief, and (most importantly) biblical overview of the gospel. Highly recommend.

[Sami · Rating 5 out of 5]

Clear, concise, quick, thorough explanation of the Gospel. Digestible and not lacking.

[Kyle Bartsch · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a great primer for anyone who wants to know how to get saved, and an excellent tool to realign the Christian who needs to be reminded of the Gospel.

[Dwain Minor · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is such a wonderful little booklet on the gospel.

[Miros Jimenez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excelente para nuevos creyentes, no creyentes y creyentes confundidos, es mini bolsillo, en una o dos tardes lo puedes leer.
Es un básico para empezar a caminar en la sana doctrina, entendiendo el carácter y la persona de Dios y el caminar con El. Sencillo, en pocas palabras, conciso y 100% bíblico.

[Luke Schmeltzer · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good little book on the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

[Lauren Allison · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed reading this. Whether you’re completely new to learning about Jesus or, like me, have grown up knowing Him, this book offers a fresh and powerful perspective. Washer does a great job of laying out the core message of the gospel in a way that’s both clear and deeply convicting.
What stood out to me most was how he explains the depth of God’s holiness, our need for salvation, and the incredible grace offered through Christ. It’s not just surface-level teaching, he really digs into Scripture and challenges readers to reflect on their faith and what it truly means to follow Jesus.

[Jeremih Dauchet · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent ouvrage rappelant les points fondamentaux de la foi en Christ, fils de Dieu.
Ce petit livre nous plonge pleinement dans la découverte approfondie de la bonne nouvelle de Jésus Christ : l'évangile.
L'accent mis sur la nature humaine rappel le besoin exclusif d'un sauveur en ce Dieu trine.

[Alex · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short and sweet. Pure gospel! This should be bought in bulk and handed out to all believers young and old and nonbelievers as well.

[Kimberly · Rating 5 out of 5]

Short but thorough booklet on the gospel! Covers questions such as "What is the gospel?" and "Who is God?", "Who are we?", "Who is Jesus?", "What is our response?"/"How can we be saved?", "How do we know we are saved?" and "How do Christians live?" I appreciate that the booklet goes through the character of God and our state as sinful humans before jumping into Christ's character, and it doesn't do it in a way where he lists out all of Christ's attributes, but instead reveals those attributes through statements of what Christ has done for us in his life, death, and resurrection. The self-examination questions for "Are you repenting?" and "Are you believing?" sections for both repentance and faith were useful, as were the assurances of salvation stemming from 1 John. I love the 7 points mentioned as the benefits of salvation - reminded me of the sweetness of what God has given us in Him. The characteristics listed in the section "How Then Shall We Live?" regarding fellowship with a biblical church are helpful for those considering what they should look for in a church and for those who are church members to examine how their church is doing in these areas and how one can grow. There are multiple Scripture references quoted in their chunked entirety throughout the book, which I really appreciated. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

15 years ago I wanted a booklet that I could give someone about the gospel, not just a track. I also didn’t want a book because I noticed most people didn’t like to read and I could find anything, I emailed close to 20 different seminary professors in three different seminaries because I did t know what to get (looking back I can’t believe I actually did that since it was completely random). I saw the suggestion from the 4 or 5 that actually responded but I didn’t like it (John Stott “Basic Christianity” 189 pages) because it was too long. This week I read a wonder little booklet “ The Gospel of Jesus Christ” by Paul Washer, it only has 32 pages and it deals throughly with the gospel message with questions after each chapter. I highly recommend it, I know I will be going through it again at some point, but this time with my children.

[Tim Counts · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a booklet, not a book. It is excellent for what it seeks to accomplish: explaining the gospel in great biblical detail without being too long. No fluff at all here...only verses & Bible explanation. I would use it for somebody who is seriously asking about Christianity & studying the Bible. They have to be serious to read it since there are no illustrations, etc. A good example of having Scripture, gospel explanation & helpful illustrations is Greg Gilbert’s “What is the Gospel?”

I appreciate Washer’s clear faithful explanation & how he even gets into assurance & what’s next (prayer, Bible Study, a Church, evangelism & missions, etc). The booklet as a whole was helpful to me as a refresher for articulating the gospel.

[Carôle Ceres · Rating 5 out of 5]

Are you struggling with your Christianity? Read This Book!

I’m struggling with my Christianity. I’m a Prodigal. I Truly Believe In The Lord Jesus Christ. However, I don’t act as if I do!

This book goes over The Good News of Salvation. I know it already. This is a refresher course with salient pointers. It regularly pauses to help you assess where you are on your spiritual journey. This is a very helpful feature.

There is a structure to your next steps. There is no criticism or condemnation. It is very encouraging - but it’s left to me to apply myself! It’s not a lost cause, God’s desire is for all to be saved! That includes me (and you too, if you buy this book)!

[Obed Gonzalez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Un libro muy corto, sencillo y preciso. Este es el mejor tratado del evangelio que he tenido el gusto de leer. Paul Washer explica quién es Dios, cuál es el problema del hombre, las buenas nuevas del evangelio, las evidencias de una verdadera conversión, un autoexamen y directrices para crecer en la comunión con Dios. Un libro que sin lugar a dudas deberías regalar a un recién convertido e incluso a un casi cristiano.
