Kate
Hankey wrote the hymn, Tell me the old, old story.
“Tell
me the old, old story,
Of
unseen things above,
Of
Jesus and His glory,
Of
Jesus and His love.
Tell
me the story simply,
As
to a little child.”
The
hymn goes on:
“Tell
me the same old story
When
you have cause to fear
That
this world's empty glory
Is
costing me too dear.”
McKinlay’s
book tells that story. Not only is the Gospel simple yet profound; the author has
the ability to tell it simply with profound impact.
Every
Christian needs to read this book regularly to get a fresh grasp on the basics
of what they believe. The Gospel for seasoned Christians can easily become old
hat. “The Gospel, Simple, yet Profound” will help to keep God’s grace in Christ
Jesus where it belongs: at the centre.
I
also recommend the book as a gift to a friend who is still not so sure what the
Gospel is about.
McKinlay skilfully throws in applicable illustrations.
Get
a copy or two. Could you read it and pass it on to a friend?
The
conclusions at the end of each chapter contain pastorally sensitive appeals to
help the reader examine his walk in the Lord.
