Overview

"Serving the Lord and sharing His gospel message is rewarding. It can be fun and joyful. New friendships form and old ones grow deeper. But it can also be a little confusing. Monty Hobbs used to be baffled when people told him that they were Christians but could not explain the gospel. In time, however, he learned that the confusion was not about Jesus dying on the cross and receiving the punishment we all deserve. It was not about the fact that He paid for our sins. It was more about the process by which that salvation got to the sinner and how it then changed the way that person lived his or her life after salvation took place. Saying you want to change is one thing, but what are the ""parts"" of salvation? Let's back that up. Did you know that salvation has parts? Small Steps to Understanding a Big Gospel will take you through the scriptures and lay out the process of salvation in the form of a simple chart so anyone who wants to see the ""parts"" will grasp the manner in which a sinner can be transformed into the person that they were created to be. Whether you are a new believer, a seasoned Christian wanting to dive deeper into the Gospel, or someone on the fence about this whole Christianity thing, this little book will take you on a life-changing journey."

The gospel message of Jesus Christ, the true record of His life and teachings in this world, is the foundation upon which His Christian church is based. Understanding it is a key step in growing in your faith. I encourage every Christian, new or ready to disciple others, to read Small Steps in Understanding a Big Gospel. This book helps readers understand complex theological concepts using a simple diagram that walks them through the act of salvation and the ever-evolving process of Christian sanctification. It does so in a step-by-step manner that is based in the truths of God's word. -J.D. Wininger, Follower of God, Writer, Speaker, & Friend (www.jdwininger.com) Wow...the Gospel could not be articulated any better than it is in this awesome little book. Thanks, Monty, for sharing the simple path to Salvation to all who read this book. It's full of truth, theologically sound, easy to read, and definitely a book that people will want to read and share with others. Brent Bolton - Discipleship Pastor @ Wellspring Church, China Spring, TX It is a blessing to call Monty Hobbs and his precious wife, Bonnie, my friends. I had the privilege of pastoring Monty for several years and had opportunity to witness his relentless pursuit of the truth of the gospel which led to his considerable growth in his walk with Christ. Monty is a person possessing an unsatiable appetite for the Word of God that is evident in his book, Small Steps to Understanding a Big Gospel. The book is succinct in its presentation of the gospel and yet is spot on in its theological accuracy. I encourage everyone to read this book and add it to their arsenal of gospel weapons to combat the tsunami of darkness so prevalent in our culture. I will certainly use the information and diagram when I have opportunity to share the gospel personally. Thank you, Monty, for this inspiring work. Johnny L. Witherspoon, Lead Pastor of First Baptist Church, Cooper, Texas This book will help any believer in sharing the gospel. Monty Hobbs writes a concise Scripture based explanation of what salvation is, who created it and why, who initiates it, who maintains and secures it, and who provides the evidence of it: God. As Hobbs writes, keep this explanation of the gospel simple and therefore easy to understand, he uses diagrams as visual aids to describe what Biblical salvation looks like to him. Monty provides the Scripture reference to support each small step , as he explains building his diagram of the gospel, which is very useful. Even in this short book, you cannot help but see the majesty of God. Robert D. Welch Jr. DVM, PHD, DACVS

Author Information

Monty is a retiree from the United States Army, husband for nearly five decades, father of three, grandpa of nine, and at last count great grandpa of one. He saw the forty-eight contiguous states and southern Canada from behind the windshield of an eighteen-wheeler for over seven and a half years. Monty is a certified lay speaker, deacon, licensed minister and led a men's group study that centered primarily on discipleship. While his first book, Small Steps to Understanding a Big Gospel, did not come to him in a dream, it did prevent him from sleeping one night until he got out of bed and hammered out the introduction to the book. As a recently developing blogger he is excited and enjoying learning and appreciating just what it takes to publish a blog that will interest the public and draw them back to his site on return visits to hear more about our amazing God and His gospel.
