Making the Gospel accessible

Senior Lecturer at Laidlaw College, Dr Mark Keown, recently released a book to help inform people seeking the truth about God. Written to answer questions like, "Why am I here?, What's gone wrong with the world?, How will it all end?, or What do I have to do to know God?", What's God Up To On Planet Earth? is a must-read for those seeking to understand the Christian faith more. This 120-page book is a straightforward and elegant summary of the Christian gospel framed around the ideas of relationship, rupture, restoration, return and response.

Mark's enthusiasm for the gospel and evangelism was evident at the recent launch of What's God Up To On Planet Earth? held on Thursday 22 April at 7.30 pm in the Laidlaw College Library. "It is written evangelistically to help a person understand the Christian message", Mark explained. "I believe it will be a valuable resource for those who wish to become more effective in spreading the faith, enabling them to know the gospel better. My motivation in writing the book was that it could be given to those friends and acquaintances we want to tell the Christian story to, but we don't quite get there. Or we do, but they don't quite get it."
