Book Review: The Gospel Precisely by Matthew Bates (perfect for small group)

Gospel Precisely met and exceeded my hopes and I am confident it will be a very relevant and practical tool for getting more people thinking biblically about a royal and cosmic gospel. Being able to read it in an hour is important for engaging those who might not get through a longer book, it is small and think and will not intimidate. It is very readable as well. I really appreciated the structure utilizing "5 key questions and answers", this provides an excellent framework for breaking the down into pre-organized teaching segments. The "response to the Gospel" section was very concise and clear, because everlasting resurrection life really comes down to response and this keeps it simple and focused!! Also I resonated a lot with the closing section entitled "tips for testifying to the Gospel today" and sensed tremendous wisdom in what "to say" and what "not to say or at least be more careful if you say it"....this advice is timely for me as I think about these conversations in my own circles. Reclaiming a first century apostolic proclamation of the full gospel good-news is paramount for the church today, and this simple, concise and easy to follow book will be an effective tool for all of us to synthesize, embed and share.
