Gospel 201 - by Jeff Dodge (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

Jeff Dodge's Gospel 201 helps readers take the next step in growing and thriving in their relationship with Jesus.

Jesus had thousands of people listen to him and begin to follow him, but did they really hear what Jesus was saying and continue to truly follow him? The same questions apply to us. When you become a follower of Jesus, the future looks bright. Your sins are forgiven, and your future is assured! But when life intrudes, it's easy to get discouraged and distracted. What is the next step in growing in faith? It's not just hearing, it's listening!

Companion to the bestselling Gospel 101, which serves as an introductory-level course on the message of redemption, Gospel 201 takes a deep dive into Jesus's parable of the sower to challenge readers to become true hearers of God's Word and grow to be more like him. Practical and easy-to-use, this study offers practical ways to go deeper into faith as participants grow in understanding Jesus's message and taking it to heart. Six self-contained lessons, including discussion questions, encourage participants to connect with others and grow deeper in faith together.

Review Quotes

"Isaiah 66 was the first text I ever heard Jeff Dodge teach. His conviction to 'Hear the Word' marked me--and it echoes through Gospel 201. Reminiscent of the hours I got to spend on his back porch, Jeff writes as a shepherd, teacher, storyteller, and friend who deeply wants his reader to know and follow Jesus."
Rudy Hartmann, Director, Salt Company National

"Of the making of many discipleship books there is no end. So I look, not just at the content of a book, but the fruit of the author on the subject. I've known Jeff over 40 years and have witnessed the fruit of this book, Gospel 201, in those who've sat under his discipleship. Three words: Read this book!"
Pat Nemmers, Lead Pastor, Saylorville Church, Des Moines, IA; author of Retractions: Cultivating Humility after Humiliation

"Gospel 201 is just the follow-up we needed. From local ministry to the mission field, Christians follow the Great Commission to sow gospel seeds and pray for growth. But what about the seed planted in our hearts? Pastor Jeff Dodge gently yet firmly calls Christians from new believer to missionary alike to look inward, cultivating and nurturing our own inner soil."
Clint Robinson, Missionary, Global Harvest Collective, Bangkok, Thailand

"Jeff Dodge is one the gospel ministers I most respect. His life, teaching, and ministry track record all point to a man who loves and lives the gospel. And that's why I heartily recommend this short book."
Jason K. Allen, President, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary & Spurgeon College
