Today’s Gospel: Authentic or Synthetic (Walter Chantry)
$6.00$9.00
One of the most important books on evangelism written in the 20th century, with enduring value today. Chantry shows that the differences between much of today’s preaching and that of Jesus are not minor – they are enormous. The chief errors are not in emphasis or approach but in the heart of the Gospel message.
If there were only a deficiency in just one of the areas this book brings up, even that would pose a serious problem. But “today’s gospel” preaching frequently ignores all of these: the attributes of God, repentance, a call to bow to the enthroned Christ, and perversions of the doctrine of assurance.
This powerfully-written book has a message which goes to the heart of the contemporary problem in a way that conferences and commissions on evangelism have failed to do. Its expository approach is particularly valuable.

The Gospel and Personal Evangelism (Mark Dever)
$10.75Evangelism is not only misunderstood, it is often unpracticed. Many Christians want to share the gospel with others, but because we don’t grasp the fundamentals of witnessing, we feel intimidated and incapable of sharing the truth of the gospel. Here’s a book that offers real help to form in ourselves a habit of genuine personal evangelism.
“For most of us, personal evangelism is the reverse of easy, and so it becomes a task we evade. Mark Dever writes to shake us up about this, clearing our heads as to just what evangelizing involves and motivating our hearts to go to it realistically and responsibly. This is a word in season that will surely do a great deal of good.” – J. I. Packer, Professor of Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia
