It struck me as I did so that these young people had not rejected the gospel—they had never even heard it! They knew nothing of Jesus, nothing of the Bible, nothing of the good news he proclaimed. Such is the reality in an increasingly secular society. And it is right here that \u003cem\u003eThe Christian Gospel\u003c\/em\u003e can be so helpful, since it takes nothing for granted. In that way it’s an evangelistic resource for this day and these people.\"\u003cbr\u003e—Tim Challies, Author and blogger\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Matthias Media","offers":[{"title":"Book","offer_id":40232597291094,"sku":"tcg","price":9.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"ebook","offer_id":40250045038678,"sku":"etcg","price":7.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0147\/1830\/4342\/files\/ChristianGospel23rgb72dpi.jpg?v=1683004600"},{"product_id":"meeting-the-essential-jesus","title":"Meeting The Essential Jesus","description":"\u003ch5\u003eDescription\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"collateral-box\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"accordion_content\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat if we combined the Gospel of Luke with the well-known and much-loved \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/matthiasmedia.com.au\/products\/two-ways-to-live\" title=\"Two Ways to Live tract\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eTwo Ways to Live\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e gospel outline, then added some questions and comments to help readers who are new to the Bible?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat’s what \u003cem\u003eMeeting the Essential Jesus\u003c\/em\u003e does.

The book also contains important background information to reading the Gospel (based on \u003cem\u003eTwo Ways to Live\u003c\/em\u003e), together with numerous footnotes on terms and names that may be unfamiliar to modern readers.
