Publisher's summary

Jesus Christ did not die on the cross so you and I could have a nice day.

Ministers and teachers who water down the Gospel of Christ in order to make it more popular and appealing may be leading their fun-loving audiences down the road to eternal punishment.

This book is John MacArthur's unflinching, unapologetic treatise on the modern tendency to alter the true message of Christianity in order to meet the whims and desires of a culture hoping for nonconfrontational messages, easy answers, and superficial commitments.

Too many people just want a Madison Avenue Jesus to make them well, make them happy, and make them prosperous. But Jesus Christ isn't a personal genie. He is the Savior. He died in agony to satisfy the wrath of a holy God and to forgive the sins of humankind. Faith in Him demands a willingness to make any sacrifice He asks. The hard truth about Christianity is that the cost is high, but the rewards are priceless: abundant and eternal life that comes only from faithfully following Christ.

John Macarthur explains Scripture in a clear, understandable, meaningful way.

In the living, there is no better teacher.

Thank you Pastor John

Excellent

I recommend for anyone seeking Christ and what it means to be a true follower vs just being a Church attendee.

This is the best bare facts of being a Christian.

If you want to know that you know about your faith in Jesus Christ.
If you want to believe that you believe in the one True Sovereign God, then this book is for you.

Best John MacArthur it is best

I’ve been blessed to be able to read or listen to many audiobooks by John MacArthur and this is truly one of the finest in my opinion. I’ve listen to it at least four times and refer it to many people. I highly recommend this one for yourself or any others.
