The Fifth Gospel: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John...You

by Bobby Conway, Jeff Kinley (With)

Overview

“There are five Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, John…and the Christian. But most people never read the first four.”

There are any number of books on how to do evangelism. This book is different—it’s an invitation to actually live out the message of the gospel. Jesus’s original intention was for ordinary people like you and me to live lives that point others to the only Person who can give them hope for this life as well as the next—to visibly display the Good News of salvation through the Messiah and Redeemer of humankind.

But many Christ followers today are either ridden with guilt for not telling others about Jesus or so silent that no one really knows they’re a Christian. The Fifth Gospel will help you wrestle with the critical issues involved in living out your faith in front of a watching and sometimes not-so-friendly world.

Isn’t it time to become a witness for the One you profess to love? Prepare yourself to represent your Savior well and to discover a new way to do evangelism. Get ready for God to unleash the gospel through you!

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"Few Christians can rightly say with the apostle Paul, 'Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.' Bobby Conway is just such a Christian, and, as such, his passion for Christ is contagious. Read, no, prayerfully devour The Fifth Gospel and you too will catch the passion to move beyond merely reading the Gospels to actually living the authentic Christian life."
—Hank Hanegraaff, president of the Christian Research Institute and host of the daily Bible Answer Man broadcast

"The girl who led me to Christ was a radiant Christian who once told me "Our lives are the only Bible many people ever read." As Christians our life is on display before a watching world. We need to pursue excellence, not only in our scholarship, but in our lives. I appreciate Bobby's timely reminder that one's life is itself an apologetic."
—William Lane Craig, Christian apologist and philosopher

"Every generation needs a fresh 'Great Commission' challenge. I know few who can do that better than Bobby Conway. His passion for 'Fifth Gospel' evangelism is just what today's church and every believer needs to hear. Be prepared to sign up! I highly recommend it."
—Robert Lewis, founder, Men's Fraternity
