“The word gospel is on the lips of many these days, but few truly understand its essential content, depth and nature. . . . Paul Washer masterfully opens up from the Bible the heart of the gospel, giving us an invaluable resource for our lives.” —Rob Ventura
Scripture declares the gospel to be “the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes” (Rom. 1:16). But when we get the gospel wrong, we put misplaced hope in a false gospel, which often leads to false conversions.
In his Recovering the Gospel 3-part book series, Paul Washer gives a pointed but hopeful corrective to this problem that guides readers to rediscover the true gospel in all its beauty, scandal, and saving power.
Learn the True Gospel’s Power, Call, and Assurance
“[Paul] Washer reminds us that there is nothing more important and more relevant than getting the gospel right, making the gospel clear, and trusting that gospel to do its work of calling, saving, and securing a people to God and for God. Praise God for the gospel and books like this that help us know, understand, and love it more deeply.”—Voddie Baucham
The Gospel’s Power and Message: One of the greatest crimes of this generation of Christians is its neglect of the gospel, and it is from this neglect that all our other maladies spring forth. Absent from too many pulpits are the essential themes which make up the very core of the gospel—the justice of God, the radical depravity of man, the blood atonement. In The Gospel’s Power and Message, Paul Washer addresses these essential elements of Christ’s good news and provides a guide to help us rediscover the gospel in all its beauty, scandal, and saving power.
The Gospel Call and True Conversion: The Apostle Paul gave the gospel the first place in his preaching, endeavored with all his might to proclaim it clearly, and even went so far as to pronounce a curse upon all those who would pervert its truth. Yet how sad it is that many, even among those considering themselves evangelicals, have reduced the gospel message to a few trite statements to be repeated, and view conversion as a mere human decision. In The Gospel Call and True Conversion, Paul Washer challenges such easy believism as he examines the real meaning of things like faith, repentance, and receiving Christ.
Gospel Assurance and Warnings: It should come as no surprise that misunderstandings about the gospel message and the nature of true conversion result in a problem with genuine assurance of salvation. A pseudo-gospel of “easy believism” has led many into careless presumption, and a poor understanding of salvation has abandoned tender consciences to near spiritual despair. In Gospel Assurance and Warnings, Paul Washer shines the light of gospel hope as he cautions against the dangers of making an empty profession of faith, while explaining from Scripture the basis for establishing and maintaining a sound assurance of faith.
