Matt Chandler’s new book The Explicit Gospel is available until April 25 at 53% off — $8.50/copy — at WTS Books. Every attendee at Together for the Gospel (T4G) 2012 was given a complementary copy of this book, and Matt gave a message that addressed one of the themes in this book. Here’s what some are saying:
“That the gospel is not clearly taught in classic liberalism is disheartening but not surprising. That frequently the gospel is not taught in evangelical congregations is both disquieting and surprising. Evangelicals will not deny the gospel, but they may assume it while talking about everything else—and that is tragic. Matt Chandler issues a robust call to make the gospel an explicit and central part of our preaching, and takes pains to show what that looks like. Amen and Amen.”
– D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
“Matt Chandler presents the gospel in a way that is balanced, hope-filled, and very, very serious, all the while presented with Matt’s trademark humor. Even more faithful than funny, Matt insults all of us (including himself) in a strangely edifying way, and in a way that I pray will make you treasure Christ even more.”
– Mark Dever, Senior Pastor, Capitol Hill Baptist Church, Washington DC; President, 9Marks
“This book, like the gospel itself, is clarifying, convicting, comforting, and compelling all at the same time. I wholeheartedly invite you to read it, to be overwhelmed by the mercy and majesty of God in the gospel, and then to spend your life making this gospel explicit in every facet of your life and to every corner of the earth!”
– David Platt, Senior Pastor, The Church at Brook Hills, Birmingham, Alabama; author of Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream
