Countryman reintroduces the Good News to disciples and would-be disciples by going back to the basics of Christianity. He examines many of the assumptions we hold about the Christian faith concerning the Bible, the church, and doctrines, and offers the gospel in the language of forgiveness and grace.

Review:
'With Orthodox doctrines expressed in crystalline language, this book is a provocative argument for undertaking the risk of receiving and sharing the unconditional love of Christ.' --Deirdre Good, Professor of New Testament, General Theological Seminary
'This book will have a special value for evangelsim and for new Christians, but will also be a blessing and a challenge to many who are ready for refreshment and reintroduction to the good news.' --Frederick H. Borsch, Bishop of Los Angeles
