GIVING A LIGHT TO THE TRUE
MEANING OF THE GOSPEL
In the play, "Marmion,"
written by Sir Walter Scott, there's a line that reads, "Oh! What a
tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive." This oft-spoken
line refers to the complexity of life that exists when individuals start lying.
While this usually is connected to the all-inclusive love triangle, it also
can, unfortunately, be applied to the Gospel of the Lord.
Sometimes when individuals
start professing that they're very knowledgeable when it comes to the intricate
messages the Gospel is telling those who read it, the unfortunate reality is
they're merely communicating grievous generalities, ambiguous ideas, and what's
worst, half-truths.
It is this reason that the faith-driven
authors of this book, Christine Paxson and Rose Spillers decided to clear the air of these inaccuracies, and investigate the true meaning of the Gospel and
Christianity for their readers. Their commitment gets found in what we read in
JOHN 8:32 [NKJV]
"And you shall know the
truth, and the truth shall make you free."
In their description for
this book, the authors enumerate what the important truths their readers should
know about, especially if they're interested in sharing the true Gospel with
anyone else. An interesting thing about the book, if you're reading this, is
that you're not alone in the lacking of actual knowledge concerning the Gospel.
The book, with its 11
chapters takes readers on a lit pathway of knowledge from being a mere child
in regards to the Gospel to an individual who's able to articulate the meaning
of the Gospel to others. It is, for this reason, I'm glad to give Ms. Paxson
and Spillers the 5 STARS they've garnered for their endeavor here.
There's
an interactive study guide for this book with questions and Scriptures to help
readers delve even deeper into understanding the complete Gospel message and
enhance the reading of this book.
