Good news spoken to a despairing person may do more lasting good than drugs. Then why doesn't the Gospel of Jesus solve the world's problems of discouragement and despair? Through the nearly two millennia since Christ's apostles' wrote letters containing the Good News to early Christians, accretions of Bad News have attached themselves to the Gospel like barnacles on a ship. Intelligent human beings are confused. Their natural common sense can't help but perceive contradictions between what the Bible proclaims and what many churches teach. Only a small amount of arsenic ruins an otherwise good meal, and the Gospel can be nullified by man-made Bad News. This book courageously cuts through the Bad News that has mysteriously infiltrated the Gospel, and restores the pure New Testament ideas. That pristine Good News once "turned the world upside down" (to quote the enemies of the apostles in Acts 17:6). Surely the time has come for the world again to hear such Good News proclaimed in clarity.
