Product Description
Differences between much of today’s preaching and that of Jesus are not petty; they are enormous. The chief errors are not in emphasis or approach but in the heart of the gospel messages. Were there a deficiency in one of the areas mentioned in these pages, it would be serious. But to ignore all – the attributes of God, the holy law of God, repentance, a call to bow to the enthroned Christ, as well as a perversion of assurance – is the most deadly mistake.’
This powerfully written book has a message which goes to the heart of the contemporary problem in a way that conferences and commissions on evangelism have failed to do. Its expository approach is particularly valuable.

Author
Walter ‘Walt’ Chantry (1938-2022) was born in the United States and converted to Christ as a teenager. In 1960, he graduated from Dickinson College and then received a B.D. in 1963 from Westminster Theological Seminary. For 39 years, he served as pastor of a church in Pennsylvania and, after he retired in 2002, he served as editor for The Banner of Truth magazine. Walt Chantry passed into the presence of his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on September 5, 2022. He is survived by his wife Joie. Walter Chantry books include Christian Living: The High Calling of Motherhood, where Chantry praises young women who are serious about motherhood and living a godly life of faith, love and holiness; Today’s Gospel, a powerful book that shines a light on enormous differences between much of today’s preaching and messages shared by Jesus; Call the Sabbath a Delight, where he reminds us why honoring the Lord’s Day is intended to be a blessing for God’s children; and Shadow of the Cross, a study in self-denial.
