Pamela Small's Reviews > The Rest of the Gospel: When the Partial Gospel Has Worn You Out

Title: THE REST OF THE GOSPEL: when the partial gospel has worn you out.
Author: Dan Stone, Greg Smith
Christians readily admit that salvation is a work of God and willingly receive Christ’s grace for salvation. However, in the next steps in the Christian life, Christians often do not view sanctification as the work of God as well. Rather, they themselves do the work, striving to do the good things, the right things- and become exhausted and frustrated when there is minimal “ fruit” to all their efforts. They experience only the partial gospel (salvation) but the spirit-filled sanctification aspect of the Christian life alludes them. This book addresses what is wrong with this picture and teaches spiritual principles that every believer needs to understand and inculcate- the rest of the gospel.

Author Dan Stone applies scriptural references to real life situations. His concepts are biblical and he offers practical examples. The concepts presented have changed my life. I've learned to stop the highs and lows on the roller coaster of DOING and accept the peace that comes by BEING- by acknowledging Christ’s work (not mine) in me. Powerful and poignant teaching. Highly recommended for ALL believers in Christ.
