What if the biggest danger to the church of Jesus Christ is not blatant heresy, the moral failures of church leaders, persecution, the rise of Islam or the loss of our rights? What if the biggest threat is counterfeit gospels *within* the church, ways of thinking and speaking about the good news that lead to a gradual drift from the truth of Scripture?
The gospel is like a three-legged stool. There's the Gospel Story - the grand narrative of Scripture (Creation, Fall, Redemption, Restoration). Within that overarching framework, we make the Gospel Announcement about Jesus Christ (His perfect life, substitutionary death, resurrection, exaltation). The gospel announcement then births the Gospel Community: God's church - the embodiment of the gospel, the manifestation of God's kingdom. A counterfeit gospel is like a colony of termites, eating away at one of the legs of this stool until the whole thing topples over. This book exposes six common counterfeits (Therapeutic, Judgmentless, Moralist, Quietist, Activist, and Churchless) that would get us off track.
The goal of *Counterfeit Gospels* is to so deepen our love for the unchanging gospel of Jesus Christ that we would easily see through the many counterfeits that leave us impoverished. So come, love the gospel, recognize and overcome the counterfeits, and be empowered for ministry!

We live in the last days that are characterised by the rise of false prophets / false teachings. In this book, Trevin Wax has done an excellent work in spelling out Counterfeit gospels are half-truths that do not appear dangerous. He defined the true gospel in the form of the story of the bible, i. e. Creation, Fall, Redemption and Restoration, and identified what the counterfeit gospels are missing in their messages. Not only that, but he also provided solutions if we have been led to believe the counterfeit gospels. Greatly recommended book for all Christians who want to seriously study the truths of the Bible.
