Have you ever shared the Gospel with someone, led them to Christ, and gave them a Bible to help them grow in faith? Have you ever worried that they would get lost in the Bible?
Have you ever wanted to know only the important details of the Bible's takeaway message? None of the unnecessary fluff, just the relevant story.
If you had only one go-to book that could explain the heart of God, what would it be?
The Novel Gospel shares the details of the life of Jesus, and all his teachings in chronological order, so that you don't have to go back and forth between the Four Gospels.
In addition, the commentary provides cultural and historical insights that aren't apparent in the text, so that you have a complete view of how people understood something that Jesus said or did at the time.
The Novel Gospel goes even further by providing the author's personal experiences with the texts in question, so that you can see what interpretations have and haven't worked in real life.
The Novel Gospel was originally a one-stop shop Gospel book for the author's friends in China, where the knowledge of God is not widespread. Eavesdrop on the conversation between the author and the Chinese, and you will see ways in which Western Christianity could stand to improve, as well as get a small peek inside the Chinese Church.
With the Chinese being a non-religious audience, The Novel Gospel was written as if the reader was an open-minded skeptic. It also empowers new or inexperienced believers to grow quickly in their faith. Lastly, it strengthens and challenges longtime believers with a fresh perspective on Scripture they may never have thought of before.
The author, Jamaal Fridge, is an African-American evangelist from the Southside of Chicago. He graduated with a Business degree from Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI, and soon after went to become a teacher in Chongqing, China. Christian Outreach and Christian Education are his two areas of focus, as he wants to help people "connect the dots".
