Overview

For those who are weary of Christian cliché and compromise crowding out what was supposed to be good news, The Naked Gospel offers the fresh take on the story of Jesus you've been waiting for.

As a university student, Andrew Farley found himself physically and emotionally addicted to street evangelism and Bible study. Yet despite his fervid behavior, he knew something was missing.

That something was an understanding of the gospel that is stripped of the churchy jargon and hypocrisies of the modern church. The Naked Gospel finds kindred spirits among those who are burned out on experience-chasing, ceremonialism, or legalism. It dismantles churchy jargon and powerless ideas and puts forth a message that is simple but life changing:

Jesus plus nothing. 100% natural. No additives.

The Naked Gospel is an invitation to dive deep into the indispensable, powerful core of the Christian faith. Are you ready?

Spanish edition also available.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

'How do you know a sailboat is maxed out in the wind? The author's wife, a sailboat captain, can tell you. It hydroplanes. How do you know it's hydroplaning? You listen for the hum. This book shows you how to open the sails of your life to the winds of truth and max out in God's Spirit. Read this book and hear the hum.' — Leonard Sweet, bestselling author of So Beautiful: Divine Design for Life and the Church

'Our culture screams at us, 'Productivity!'—and often, this mantra gets absorbed and spread by the church. Grace is a word we use often but rarely understand the depth and true meaning of. In The Naked Gospel, Andrew Farley strips down religion and shows us the faith and freedom God intends for us to have in a fully abundant, radiant life.' — Anne Jackson, speaker and author of Mad Church Disease

'What a great 'textbook' on how to strip away all the religious fakery and take the challenge to just be a normal person while being a healthy Christian.' — Steve Arterburn, founder and chairman, New Life Ministries

'Reading Andrew Farley's book The Naked Gospel harkened me back to my own faith-altering encounter with Jesus, when I first embraced the outrageous idea of the exchanged life. That message dynamically changed me, which is why I'm excited about Andrew's book—a biblically centered freedom manual for today's stuck Christian. If you're tired of wearing the 'I'm a super Christian' mask, if you're weary and discouraged on the inside, read this book and experience the freedom Jesus brings.' — Mary E. De Muth, author of Daisy Chain

'The Naked Gospel is an intelligently written book that is thoroughly intriguing. Your church or small group could benefit greatly by its wisdom and concepts. This is a must-read!' — Dave Stone, senior minister, Southeast Christian Church

'For over three years, I have cohosted radio and television programs with Dr. Andrew Farley. God has gifted this insightful teacher and author with the ability to communicate the meaning of the Scriptures with remarkable simplicity. The clarity of his words should refresh the spirit of every saint and beckon to the lost. The heart of his message is captured here, and it comes at the perfect time: when the United States, and indeed the whole world, is hungering for answers. The Naked Gospel is unabashed truth.' — Chip Polk, cofounder and playwright, Ragtown Gospel Theater

'The message that Andrew Farley brings in The Naked Gospel is so necessary for the church today. It is absolutely essential for a fulfilling and genuinely Christ-centered life.' — John Best, Th D, former professor of New Testament Literature and Exegesis, Dallas Theological Seminary
