Reading Between the Lines: Discovering the One Purpose Behind the Twenty-Seven Books of the New Testament
by Alger Fitch
Alger Fitch shows that the New Testament is more than just a book of rules. Instead, the one purpose of the New Testament is to show the world the extent of God's love for them and to prompt the Christian to share that love through the gospel message. You will begin to understand that our God has a passion to see the unbeliever come to Christ and has a plan to help it happen. His plan is for each of us to "Go and make disciples." Alger Fitch breaks the New Testament into four sections:
- The Gospels as missionary sermons,
- The book of Acts as the missionary records,
- The Epistles as missionary correspondence,
- The book of Revelation as missionary struggles.
Reading Between The Lines will open your eyes to God's plan in the world, and for your life! Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, "The church is the church only when it exists for others." World evangelism is the basic building block of the church; it was God's first concern, and the reason Jesus came. This book will forever change your heart and the way you see evangelism!
