We have been re-emphasizing the biblical content of the Gospel at our church over the last number of months and would love to have this as a resource in order to continue to grow in my own understanding of the Gospel and to help the people in our church grow in their knowledge so they can communicate it to others.
I need this book; I have so many questions about this topic because I think I'm one that doesn't understand.
I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have this book. I'm 18, and currently teach a bunch of highschool students apologetics and theology, and would be such a blessing to have this book to better equip me to teach them, and to share with them.
Just as a deep sea diver must dive deep into the depths of the sea to find precious pearls, so must a Christian dive deep into the understanding of the Gospel to find its treasures hidden beneath the surface! Extra resources like this are vital to such studies and I would love a copy.
I want to read it! My dad has a copy and it looks so good!
As a poor college kid I would love to get my hands on a copy of this book! Even if im not lucky enough to win a copy I agree with you Stephen that I think its worth forking out some money to get! We must always be reminded of what the Gospel is!
Skimmed this book yesterday on the Crossway site. I'm seriously considering making this required reading for all of our small group leaders. Thank you for recommending great resources. If I were to win this book, I would give it to a young leader in our church who is working diligently to build a solid gospel foundation for his small group. These are impressionable young adults who often come to us with a warped understanding of the gospel.
I am a young pastor planting a church in Brazil, in a town where most people believe that the Gospel is the message about how Jesus came to earth, died and rose again in order to give me victory over the evil of unhealthyness, over the evil of unemployment and so on… so yes… This book could be very helpful to me, and I would love to read it an them use it as the base of a Sunday School class.
Would I like to win a copy of the book? Why yes, thanks for asking Stephen.
I would desperately love to win this book so I can walk the volunteers in our missional evangelism ministry through exactly why we do what we do. And drive home to them the importance and eternal implications of the Gospel.
I would LOVE to get a copy of this book because the gospel is core to everything that we are and everything that we do.
Having participated in several similar book giveaways in the past, I have no more arms to offer. But I'd really like to have this book anyway.
Yes, I want a copy of this book, and while I won’t be giving my right arm for it (nor am I willing to)
I really want to read it. We are admonished to be ready to defend the faith, and as a young Pastor’s Wife (associate Pastor’s Wife) to be precise who is still relatively new in her walk I could seriously use it!!!
You've utterly convinced me that I must have this book. You are absolutely right — We HAVE to get the Gospel right!! I would love to win a copy b/c if it's as good as you say it is, I plan on buying several others for my Christian friends to really show them how far-off most modern-day evangelism has gotten from presenting the true Gospel. But not just for the sake of proving a point; Like you said, someone is NOT saved without the Gospel, so misrepresenting it is a failure of unimaginable proportions. Oh, and yes I'd give my arm for this book, but if you give it to me, I won't have to
I would give up my birthright (Esau-style) for this book.
…umm…actually, maybe not. God wasn't so happy with that kinda thing. Rather, I would give up my poor attempts at being witty on the internet for this book.
I'd love to win this book!
I'd love to get this book. Well, I'm going to get it one way or another, but I'm very passionate about it for many of the same reasons you mentioned in the video. We're people of the gospel, so getting it right is a must.
I would love to read this book!
Brother Altrogge,
I would love to win a copy of the book. If it anything like the blogs Greg posted on the gospel on the 9 Marks site a couple years ago, then it will be edifying and life-giving. I used some of the material from Greg's posts in a lesson during a personal evangelism series in our Bible Fellowship Group. I would love to have the extended version, via this book.
I want this book so stinking bad. Bad enough to give my right big toe… not my arm though, that is where I draw the line.
I really do want this book badly for many reason. Being BoldLion for Christ, I need to learn how to reach out to other to explain to them the true meaning what is the Gospel. I too need to learn more about it for myself as well. I do have a big heart to reach out to other to explain to them how to live their life for Christ.
I am planning to share this on the facebook and post this information on my blog so that other can too enter into this wonderful contest.

Gimme!
I desperately want this book and would give my right arm to have it.
Not sure that I would give my right arm for a copy, but I would appreciate the chance to receive one. Thanks.
Give me a copy! Maybe it will make my beard more Altrogge-like and my glasses more black and hip!!! I want to take it to seminary with me in the fall. please!!
So… I too would pretty much give my right arm to have a copy of this book
In all seriousness, I truly think the book would be helpful for me as I'm in the midst questioning how to apply the Gospel to my life and how to share and communicate that with others; specifically as a student at a Big Ten University,
Thanks for the opportunity!
I desperately want this book, but not enough to give my right arm. I can spare a rib though.
I'd give you Steve Jobs in exchange for this book… Not that I can do that, but if I could, I definitely would.
I would love to win a copy of this book! If I don't win it, I may have to buy it, which telling you that probably doesn't increase my chances of winning it, but it is true.
I am a Pastor at a little church (http://www.edgewood-danville.org) and in my desire to reemphasize the gospel at church, I have been amazed by grace.
As a teacher at a little public school (http://www.grf.k12.il.us/newgrhs/Staff/Staff.htm), I don't know if I could do what I do if that grace wasn't so amazing.
If you give me a copy, it will be read and shared.
I desperately need this book and would give all my chin hair for it.
I would love a copy of this book. As a teacher of the Gospel and working with students, I am always looking for good tools to share with others and to be reminded myself.
I desperately want this book and would give my right arm to have it…REALLY!
Hey!! I need one!!
I desperately want this book and would give my right arm to have it and even if I don't win in it I'll go out and buy it.
Yes, I truly think I need this book, sometimes I get confused.
Winning the book would be utterly fantabulous! I'd love to read more on the gospel, it is so critical and amazing! =)
I desperately want this book but am unable to give any appendages to have it (I make my living playing the organ).
I really want this book.
Sounds like a great book!
I really need this book. I am training twelve church planters in India(6 in Ranchi and 6 more in Indore) and I was with them just two weeks ago there in India beginning a three-year process of equipping them to plant churches, and I'll be back with the same twelve men starting May 27 again for another two-week round of training. I'd love to get a copy of this book and potentially supply all twelve of these church planters who are going against the tide of Hinduism every day — with this book. So … I'd really put it to amazing use!
This sounds just like a book my pastor was telling me about a couple weeks ago. I would love a chance to win!
I would love to win a copy of this book, Stephen. I need my right arm though! lol Thanks for letting us know about it & for the chance to win a copy.
Well, I do have a Bible (and it gives me some idea of what the gospel is…)
But I would love to get this book if it does a good job of expounding the Bible.
would love to read and then share with others
I would not give my right arm as I am left armed, uh…left handed. The thought that I could be a Christian for so many years and have some watered down version of the what the Gospel means in my thinking makes me desperately desire this book. I would give my left arm for it.
Boy, some of these comments are really disarming! In the spirit of brotherly love please give my copy to Jepp so he can get rid of the chin fuzz.
I want this book to share with the teens in our church. A few weeks ago our youth pastor asked the youth group “what is the gospel?” and it took 6 kids answering before someone came even close to giving a right answer. I desperately want this book. I probably won’t win based on statistics but if not I am buying the book and probably multiple copies to give away.
I am a youth and discipleship pastor, aiming to equip the young and old of our small congregation with the gospel so that we might become a Christ-centered community on Christ's mission to multiply the glory and goodness of God throughout all creation. Without the gospel we'll never be the people of God we were created and redeemed to be. This is serious stuff. I need the gospel more than I need this book, but having the book would help us know more deeply what the Bible says the gospel is and does. Thanks for the review!
When do I give you my address to send the book to? I would love to win it.
Greg, I'd like a copy. There's plenty of "Gospel-talk" that isn't about the Gospel. Our church sees a fair share of that, so it would be good to commend as a resource to the pastoral staff. It'll end up in our church library after I get some other copies for the rest of the staff and deacons. Thanks again for the opportunity.
Tell me the story of Jesus again!
Hey Mark…thanks for the chance to win a free book. I work for a Christian TV network and have only recently encountered the doctrines of grace. I've also learned that many people (esp. pastors and teachers on TV) in my "assumed gospel" world haven't a clue what the gospel really is. They've turned it into a bazaar mix of health, wealth, prosperity and idolatry. I pray that everyone who is teaching a false gospel would "get" the message of this book.
Bah…of course, if I were talking to your dad, I would address you as I did. Let's tray that again:
Hey Stephen…thanks for the ….
What a cute looking little book. I bet it has a mighty message!
i want this book. i need it. i'd give the naming rights to the middle name of my third child to get this book.
I've been a Christian since I was five, (and I'm now 25) but have been so blessed over the past few years to really dive into what it means to LIVE in the light of the gospel everyday. Amazing!
I would love to win a copy of this book because I think it would be helpful in my Friday night ministry of street evangelism! I love engaging people – young, old, business professionals, homeless – in coversations about the gospel, about the good news of Jesus Christ!
I would like to win, but if I don't, you can have any arm you wish.
"I desperately want this book and will give my right arm to have it"… well, not literally
Wow, From the description you gave, it sounds like this book will be a real guide to sharing the gospel. Yes I would certain like to read it and share it with others.
After what I heard, I would love to read and share this book to others. Thanks Stephen for sharing this.
Oh how I would greatly appreciate this. Thank you for your generosity in sharing it with 5 others. I appreciate you entering me!
would like to make this available to out organization.
sorry "for our"
I am co-teaching an apologetics class to 11-13 year olds. This resource would be very helpful.
Right arm? Probably not, but as a pastor's wife in a church that has been trying to reach this town for 14 years, I think it would be great!
Hearing the table of contents won me over – I want a copy too!
Yes, please!
I have heard so many good things about this book. And I really really really would love to read it!
I would love to have this book. Thanks for giving them away.
