Marks of the Messenger:
Knowing, Living and Speaking the Gospel
By J. Mack Stiles (IVP, 2010)

“The first application of our understanding of the Gospel is not necessarily to share our faith, but to live a Gospel-centered life. So we sit at the foot of the cross when there are differences with other brothers and sisters. We remember our own sin and failings when we discipline our children. We apply principles of grace in our marriage and with our coworkers. We especially think through how Gospel themes bear on our presentations of the Gospel to make sure the message we bear looks like the message we share.” –J. Mack Stiles, from the book
