Is Our Gospel Too Small? - PDF Download [Download]

Authentic ways of believing, sharing, and living a rich gospel message.

Overview

Six Bible studies from the Christian Vision Project pose the question of our modern American gospel message: is it too small? In an age of consumerism, are we trying to sell Jesus? Are we embracing the whole Bible or just select parts of it? And is our faith real and deep enough that we can share it with others - simply, creatively, genuinely?
