"Many Christians think the gospel is only for unbelievers. Milton
Vincent learned the hard way that we Christians also need the
gospel every day to keep us from falling into a performance
relationship with God. I share Milton’s enthusiasm for the gospel
and warmly commend his ‘primer’ to all believers. It can literally
be life changing."
- Jerry Bridges, author of The Discipline of Grace
and The Gospel for Real Life
"As a pastor, I’ve observed many Christians who are grateful for
the gospel but have difficulty applying the gospel to their lives.
The truth is, I need to preach the gospel to myself every day-and
you do too! In A Gospel Primer for Christians Milton Vincent has
created a practical tool with a powerful effect. This book will
help you understand the gospel more profoundly, reflect on the
gospel more faithfully, and experience the power of the gospel
more consistently."
- C.J. Mahaney, President, Sovereign Grace
Ministries, and author of The Cross-Centered Life
"My good friend and fellow pastor, Milton Vincent, is utterly
obsessed with the gospel of Jesus Christ. In A Gospel Primer for
Christians, he demonstrates why believers–even though already
having become the recipients of God’s saving love–ought
nevertheless to be continually infatuated with this glorious reality.
His capturing of the doctrine of salvation is unique in that virtually
every section is explicitly footnoted to multiple Scriptural passages.
Part III of the book, with the gospel shown in a beautiful poetic
narrative, is alone worth the price of the book. I know of no other
book quite like it, both in its approach and impact."
- Lance Quinn, Pastor-Teacher of The Bible
Church of Little Rock, Little Rock, Arkansas
"Most Christians live on the porch of their faith without enjoying
the mansion of delights behind the front door. In A Gospel Primer
for Christians, Milton Vincent takes believers on an amazing tour
of the gospel, showing how its familiar truths are actually its most
overlooked treasures. This book will not only increase what
you know about the gospel, but it will take what you know and
helpfully show you what to do with it. This book has made me
love the Savior more intimately, hate my sin more deeply, and find
the joy that comes from gospel-produced holiness. Open its pages
and enjoy the gospel’s mansion of delights!"
- Rick Holland, Senior Associate Pastor, Grace
Community Church, and Director of D.Min.
Studies at The Master’s Seminary
"There is no greater news than that Jesus came to die for our sins in
order to bring us to God. This biblically saturated book will help
you understand why that is such great news. Milton Vincent’s
Gospel Primer for Christians is one of the rare books that helps us
not only to know the Gospel, but also to love the Gospel and
see how it applies to every area of our lives. I have used the prepublished version of this book in my devotions for years and I’m
thrilled that more people are now able to benefit from it."
- Bob Kauflin, Director of Worship Development,
Sovereign Grace Ministries
"The exhortation to 'preach the gospel to yourself' is a clarion call
in a vacuous time within evangelicalism. But what does it mean
to 'preach the Gospel to oneself' and how can one practically
do it? Milton, who obviously meditates on it himself, elaborates
on this privilege and grace in such a way that the Christian can
revel in God’s grace and the person and work of Christ more
intentionally. This book can help any Christian echo the words
of the Baptist Preacher/Theologian Andrew Fuller who said in
his diary, 'Compared with what I deserve to be, how happy my
condition!'"
- Stuart Scott, Associate Professor of Biblical
Counseling, Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, and author of The Exemplary Husband
