The Gospel of Jesus Christ

Book Description

A Concise Gospel Booklet for Real Evangelistic Moments

You believe the gospel is true and powerful. Yet real evangelistic conversations are often brief, imperfect, and unfinished. Many Christians walk away wishing they had spoken more clearly, had more time, or had another opportunity to follow up.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ by Paul Washer exists to meet those moments with clarity and faithfulness.

This Scripture-saturated gospel booklet sets forth God’s holiness, humanity’s sin, Christ’s saving work, and the call to repentance and faith with seriousness and precision. It is written to be placed directly into the hands of unbelievers, allowing the truth of the gospel to continue speaking when your own words fall short or the moment passes.

This newly designed edition is deliberately crafted to better serve that purpose. Now produced in a substantially smaller, pocket-sized format with a more inviting design, it is easier to carry, easier to share, and better suited for everyday evangelistic use. The back cover copy now speaks directly to the reader receiving it, not the Christian purchasing it.

The content itself has not changed. Since its initial release, this gospel presentation has been distributed over one million times worldwide. It is our prayer that this new format will continue to serve as a faithful witness for years to come.

This edition helps remove practical barriers to evangelism by giving you something trustworthy, clear, and accessible to leave behind when time is short or follow-up is uncertain.

Especially suited for:

• Personal evangelism and one-on-one conversations
• Street, campus, and community outreach
• Church distribution and visitor follow-up
• Counseling conversations with seekers
• Situations where portability and clarity matter
• Designed to be read in one sitting, this compact booklet allows the message of the gospel to continue speaking long after the conversation has ended.
