We all struggle with unbelief about what God has done for us in the Gospel. Gospel Fluency by Jeff Vanderstelt is a book that seeks to help with this problem of unbelief in believers. This is a Christ and gospel centred book, that speaks against what the pharisees struggled with. Being religious but missing Christ. In this book you will learn ways to apply the Gospel truth to everyday life, how to counsel others by giving them Jesus, how to deal with sin, how to build a gospel centred community, how to share the gospel effectively with others. The book is filled with conversations and concrete examples of what the author is trying to teach, so you are not left with just theory. Though I personally felt some of the conversation to be corny and way too sterilized as if it was from a Christian movie. None the less, this is a very practical book that would require you to practice what is taught in this book to reap its benefits. Some insights that really stood out to me was the idea that the root of sins usually comes from unbelief about God’s character and His works. So by finding out what lies you’ve mistakenly believed in, and believing in the opposite Gospel truth can give you lasting change that is not just a performative behavioural change. I would recommend this book to any Christian seeking to live out the Gospel.
