Paul Washer ministered as a missionary in Peru for ten years, during which time he founded the HeartCry Missionary Society to support Peruvian church planters. Paul now serves as one of the laborers with the HeartCry Missionary Society (www.heartcrymissionary.com). He and his wife Charo have four children: Ian, Evan, Rowan, and Bronwyn.
"I am profoundly thankful for the courageous clarity of The
Gospel's Power and Message by Paul Washer. Christians today seem to
have the false impression that the gospel is all about us--a
wonderful plan for our lives; a means of finding peace, joy, or
personal fulfillment; the way to get to heaven. Those blessings
(and many more) are aspects of every true gospel-believer's
birthright, of course. But they are not the point or the main
objective of the message. The gospel is about God and His eternal
glory. That is where it starts, and that is where it takes us in
the end. Preached rightly, the gospel convicts and humbles every
human heart. It underscores the exceeding sinfulness of our sin. It
rebukes even our most laudable works of righteousness. The gospel
is simple enough for a child to grasp, but its truths are
inexhaustible. "In short, the gospel is the best of all good news
and the most important message anyone has ever proclaimed. Paul
Washer strikes all the right notes in this powerful, biblical
study." -- John MacArthur, pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church
in Sun Valley, California, and author of The Gospel According to
Jesus
"In these days of insipid, man-centered, ear-tickling preaching, we
need Sons of Thunder who fear God and faithfully preach His word
without fear of consequences. My friend, Paul Washer, is one such
man. May God use this book to reach the lost and to glorify His
name." -- Ray Comfort, author of Hell's Best Kept Secret and The
Way of the Master
"Style-conscious evangelicals have done a lot of tinkering in
recent decades to try to make the gospel seem more appealing or
more palatable. All the sharp corners have been carefully sanded
off and the message made as small as possible. It has then been
wrapped in thick layers of foam so that no one can ever be hurt or
offended by it. "In The Gospel's Power and Message, Paul Washer
unwraps the gospel and displays its various facets in all their
vivid glory. This book is a thoughtful, poignant reminder that the
message Christ commissioned us to proclaim is neither spongy nor
trivial. Nor can it be improved by human revision. The gospel may
be a stumbling block to some and seem like foolishness to
others--but to those who are called, it is the power and the wisdom
of God." -- Phil Johnson, executive director of Grace to You
