Edwin Cohea's New Book
In our culture, it is common to hear the phrase "the gospel of Jesus Christ." However, this can mean many things to many people. Because there are so many different churches, denominations, and groups who identify as Christian, this book clarifies how Jesus and the Apostles presented the gospel in the first place, that is, how it is revealed in the New Testament and how the first followers of Jesus would have understood his call. The gospel discussed in these pages is rooted in the Bible itself and avoids the trappings of distinctive theological or denominational perspectives. Why You Need (the real) Jesus is easily readable, yet, deep enough to give you a clear perspective of what the Bible actually means by the wonderful phrase, "the gospel of Jesus Christ."
Reader Reviews
"This book is perfect for anyone curious about Christianity, mature Christians, and everyone in between. It explains, in detail but without talking down to you, what exactly it means to be a Christian. It is a very thought-provoking book, offering end of chapter questions, allowing you time and space to examine your own heart. It highlights the covenantal relationship between Christ and His followers. Highly recommend!" Five Stars.

"This was a very clear biblical presentation of the Gospel. The book discusses core elements of what it means to actually be a Christian that the typical church either minimizes or ignores all together...discipleship, transformation, apostacy, and the New Covenant (the last two I have never heard addressed). The drawback is that it is not a scholarly book per se (but I think the writer intended it that way), but it is solidly biblical with many Scripture references and some fascinating insights into some important Greek words. This book is great for Christians who have never actually gotten grounded in the Gospel as it is presented in the New Testament and for nonChristians who are seeking to understand what the Gospel is all about. I highly recommend this book." Four Stars
