I keep having to buy more copies of this book because I keep giving it away to non-Christian friends! It is one of the best,simplest and clearest outlines of the Gospel message I have come across; typical John Chapman - easy to read, well laid-out, no religious jargon, straight down-the-line. It answers the questions that people really ask - like what is Hell? Why aren't good people good enough for Heaven? Can't I leave it til later? It tells the reader what a Christian is and how to become one. There is background on the reliability of the Gospel accounts, but the author encourages readers to skip sections if they are not relevant to the questions they are asking. I also find it very useful when teaching the Christianity Explored course or in one-to-one evangelism or when giving evangelistic talks, as there are so many good illustrations and sections that I read aloud to people to get a point across succinctly. My copy is very well-worn!
