"Why do I need to be saved?" "From what?"
These are common questions in today's society. Salvation can be a difficult concept to explain to a postmodern thinker. Fortunately, God's Word provides many ways of looking at our situation, and at God's solution. 24 Ways to Explain the Gospel contains dozens of word pictures and illustrations that will help you communicate the gospel in ways everyone can understand.
The Bible is full of illustrations that use common experiences, such as gardening, having debt, a campfire, or joining a family, to explain what Jesus accomplished on the cross. In 24 Ways to Explain the Gospel, you will see 24 metaphors from the Bible, positive and negative examples, and several illustrations that show how the positive/negative examples can be explained. (A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase compares or describes something. For example "A mighty fortress is our God" - "mighty fortress" is a metaphor to help to describe God.)
Below is an example from 24 Ways to Explain the Gospel
Metaphor Light - Jesus is the light that shines on our path toward God (John 1246)
Positive examples Light - Jesus is the light of the world (John 812)
Jesus' light shines in our heart (2 Cor. 44-6)
Children of the light (Eph. 58)
Jesus has rescued us from darkness (Col. 113)
Putting aside the deeds of darkness (Romans 1312)
Negative examples Dark - People living in darkness have seen a great light (Matt. 416)
People loved darkness (John 319)
Illustrations - A campfire in the wilderness provides light, warmth, safety and sustenance.
The light helps campers to find their way back to camp. It provides warmth for the night. It keeps the animals away. It cooks food and purifies water.
In a similar way, Jesus provides us with a guiding light, warmth, safety, and sustenance for our journey of life.

24 Ways to Explain the Gospel edition by Rose Publishing Religion Spirituality eBooks
This is a fantastic little fold-out pamphlet that all Christians would benefit from having. Its primary aim is to aid evangelism, but I think it's also great for helping people understand the Gospel *for themselves*, as well. If Christians understood each of these Biblical pictures or explanations of the Gospel, I think they would not only love the Lord more for seeing what He's done, but they'd also be better equipped for casual evangelistic conversations. Truly a great resource.Product details

24 Ways to Explain the Gospel edition by Rose Publishing Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
As Christians many of us born into the church, we have our own vocabulary. Metaphors make abstract concepts easier to understand. This pamphlet takes words like life and death and uses common experiences in our life to help people to connect to concepts of religion. As a voice for foster children one metaphor important to me at this time is “family.” Through Jesus, believers become part of the family of God. We are adopted and have the full rights of a son. Orphans represent life apart from God without His love. Now anyone who in Christ can call upon God and He is their Abba, "Daddy." Other pairings of the metaphor uses Relationships of friend and enemy. Charts are colorful and clearly define the elements of the metaphors positive and negative followed by several Biblical illustrations. The writer’s approach was fresh and new to me and gave me much information to process. I received this PDF from Rose Publishing for honest opinion.

good
Good purchase will become useful with my study time in the word. Glad I made the purchase good product helpful
This is a good guide by Rose Publishing for all Christians who want to share their faith with others, and find themselves a little tongue-tied.
Very good
great used in my bible study classes.
I was somewhat disappointed in the pamphlet. It was not what I was expecting, I suppose. I was looking for an easy way to explain the Gospel to a nonbeliever. This didn't cut the mustard for me. It was a bit confusing.Not straightforward enough, I suppose. I will try reading it again.
