This is just a reminder that August is approaching quickly! If you are hoping to read "What is the Gospel" with me (which I am hoping you are), then you need to procure your copy asap (check out Amazon or your local bookstore)! The author is Greg Gilbert, and it's a short, easy, even humorous read. Check out my other post about it here for more information about the book.
Like I explained before, I hope to read through one chapter per week starting at the beginning of August (it's only 8 chapters long, a whopping 121 pages). Each week, I'll be blogging about the chapter we read, and I'll invite you to join in via commenting on my blog or even writing your own blog post (or emailing/calling me if you're a more private person). I plan to shoot for having the post up on Wednesday each week... and, since August begins on a Wednesday, I'll start with the first post on Aug. 1st. This should put us finishing up the book at the end of September.
So, if you're reading along with me, let's read the Introduction by Wednesday the 1st. It's about the same length as a normal chapter (roughly 10 pages), and it really sets a good foundation for why Gilbert wrote the book. And if you want to read along but are still waiting on your book, catching up won't be a problem since we're only covering the intro this week. :)
To help you get a grasp of what the book will cover, here is the list of chapters:
Inroduction
1. Finding the Gospel in the Bible
2. God the Righteous Creator
3. Man the Sinner
4. Jesus Christ the Savior
5. Response - Faith and Repentance
6. The Kingdom
7. Keeping the Cross at the Center
8. The Power of the Gospel
I sincerely hope you will consider joining me. I have a few people already on board, and I know there are a few of you who are still considering it... :)
