There are at least 43 references to the blood of Christ in the New Testament. It's a vital subject. Yet, nowadays, there seems to be a decreasing interest in preaching about it. Indeed, it seems that some churches, in their ill-advised attempts to make Christianity more palatable, have all but removed the blood from their 'gospel.' But, as others from previous generations have noted, a bloodless gospel is both a useless and a hopeless gospel. In fact, a bloodless gospel is no gospel at all."In a day and age when 'certain men crept in unawares' to erroneously boast a cross-less, bloodless, Christ-less gospel, Miles McKee sets the biblical record straight with his exposition of the blood of Christ and its eternal power, its priceless value, its infinite glory and so much more." -Jon J. Cardwell
"They said unto the woman, now we believe, not because of thy saying; for we have heard Him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world." John 4:42 A True Believer is one who having, by faith alone, received as Lord and Saviour embarks on a life of following Jesus. The True Believer is motivated by the Gospel, empowered by the enabling of the Holy Spirit and under the authority of the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament. This book is a basic and short summary of some of the beliefs and practices of the True Believer.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is Simple; But It's Not Simplistic "Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me." John 5:39Although The Simple Gospel is a compilation of articles and essays written by Jon Cardwell while serving as a missionary-pastor in remote bush Alaska (2002-2008), the hope behind this little book is to exhort earnest Bible reading, study and meditations among Christians in these dark times; and further, to encourage an eye upon the scriptures from a perspective that is gospel honoring, Christ exalting, and God glorifying.Jon has often said from the pulpit, "The gospel of Jesus Christ is simple; but it's not simplistic." In other words...The gospel is easy enough for a child to understand; nevertheless, the propositions of the gospel are eternal truths and, therefore, infinitely glorious.As fallen men, even those redeemed by God's grace in Jesus Christ, have a propensity toward sin and a tendency toward good works accomplished in the flesh, the only remedy for today's Christian is to stay rooted and grounded in gospel faith, drawing nearer to God in the revelation of Jesus Christ from the scriptures. The entire Bible is about the Person and work of Jesus Christ: who He is and what He has done, is doing, and will do, unto God's great glory.This treatise is something of a sequel to the bestseller, Christ and Him Crucified.WHAT YOU'LL FIND INSIDEIt begins with "The Simple Gospel," explaining the Incarnation, Crucifixion, Resurrection, Ascension, and Restitution in Christ's return.Next is an exposition of Romans 3:21-27 in a chapter titled, "Propitiation through Faith."The third chapter, "The Sign of Jonah," may be a little edgy for some as it explains a Wednesday crucifixion from scriptural proofs."The Shroud of Turin" is the fourth chapter, an article that expresses, from the scriptures, why the Turin shroud could not be the burial cloth of Jesus Christ.The fifth chapter, "The Chief End of Man," may step on a few toes as it not only provides a brief lesson in Biblical hermeneutics while presenting man's true and Biblical purpose, but it also presents the "felt needs" approach to church growth as unbiblical and logically unsound."The Trouble with Traditions of Men" refutes some modern "Christian traditions" while presenting the importance of clinging to the truth of Christ crucified from the scriptures.Next, "The Mystery of God," presents the gospel of Jesus Christ through some oft overlooked prophetic scriptures in Genesis."You Must Be Born Again," springing from Christ's comment to Nicodemus in John 3:3, presents the reality of regeneration in the soul saved by grace through faith.Finally, the book is capped off with "A Glimpse of Eternity."Artistic paintings and photographs have also been included in this work to aid you in understanding some of the points presented.

Growing up in the center of gritty 1970s New York City, Brian was on a troubled path, destined to fade into oblivion or end up in jail or worse. Brian eventually found his way; a born risk-taker, Brian capitalized on a few lucky opportunities that came to him and parlayed them into a fulfilling career far removed from his childhood fate. In this tale of redemption and second chances, Brian shares the lessons he learned during his journey, infusing optimism and a sense of hope to all those who hear his story.
