Embracing a Biblical Worldview & Hanging on Tight by Dan Phillips.
If I were to sum up the message of The World-Tilting Gospel in one sentence, I’d say it explains what it REALLY means to be a Christian. That this task takes 300 pages is a measure, I suppose, of how wrong we’ve got it—and by we’ve, I’m referring to present-day evangelicals.
Too often, says Phillips, modern evangelicals don’t have a biblical worldview. We can’t give a proper explanation of what the gospel is and why it’s needed, and it’s bad teaching that stands in the way.
So what’s the solution?
The greatest need of the church today is a strategic, full-orbed, robust, biblical grasp of the Gospel fo Jesus Christ and its transformative implications. We don’t need more glitz or glamour, better marketing or programs, snazzier decor or entertainment. We do need a whole-Bible grasp of the Gospel.
That’s what The World-Tilting Gospel gives us: the whole-Bible Gospel in an energetic, easy-to-understand, earnest-but-never-preachy style.
There’s nothing more important or profound than what this book unfolds for us. The first part is about us and our big problem. As it turns out, our big problem is us. When it comes to our spiritual condition, we are dead. In other words, we “don’t and can’t help ourselves.” Outside help is our only hope.
