Thanks for listening to the latest podcast from Him We Proclaim with Pastor John Fonville. In this special series, we'll explore how the gospel speaks to our identity, our calling, and our confidence in Christ. Drawing from passages in Luke, Matthew, Ephesians, 1 Peter, and Jude, Pastor John unpacks themes like grace and vocation. The power of God's Word, and the unshakable assurance we have in Christ's favor and goodness. Whether you're struggling with your calling, seeking clarity on your role in the Church, or simply needing encouragement, these messages will remind you of the sufficiency of Christ and the hope we have in the Gospel.
Today's message is called Evangelism and Our Vocations. Turn to 1 Peter chapter 2. Verses 9 and 10. I'll look at that today. We're going to finish up this little three-week series about the Great Commission and our vocations.
Last week, I pointed out that it's important to distinguish between the visible church's vocation, which is the Gray Commission. Then the the Believer's vocation. which is the great commandment. The Great Commission has this specific mandate that the visible church is called in its official ministry to carry out. But you come to the visible church's ministry, Ephesians chapter four says.
to receive this work of ministry. Because that's what shapes you. That's what equips you to go forth into the vocations that God has given to you to what? To fulfill the great commandment. Love and serve your neighbor with good works.
And so we come to Christ's visible church as a gift. The Great Commandment is God's gift to us, the Great Commandment, our vocations, our callings. Yes, sir. Uh our gift to Yeah. world where we're sent.
And so two weeks ago, we saw that this application is this. That uh Uh Each of us are called to be sheep in the church. We're all sheep. But Not all of us are called to be shepherds. We have one shepherd in this particular visible church.
That would be me. Yeah.
Now we might have some More coming in the future, but that's up to God. But but we have But we're called to be sheep. But not all of us are called to be shepherds. And so that means, what that means is this, is that. Not every member is a minister, right?
So when we hear this teaching, this distinction of vocations, people haven't been exposed to that kind of Reformation teaching that was brought back, the doctrine of vocation from the sixteenth century. They haven't been exposed to it and they hear that and they go, Well, well Or do we not have anything that we're supposed to do? Right? Do we just come to the church to hear the gospel? and just sit as passive spectators.
Aren't we supposed to witness and? share the gospel and go out and. Nhab have this mission ourselves and the answer is yes. Why? Because this mandate to share the gospel is not confined to the apostles.
It's not confined to the church's pastors. Because we have seen that that Every Christian has this responsibility, this calling, this vocation to to share Christ with others. And as Peter says, as we heard in our text, and then they were all called what? He says, to proclaim what? The excellencies of him.
Who has listened? called us, you see. That's an invocation. That's a calling that we have received. He has called us where?
out of darkness. out of sin. out of destruction, out of misery. out of our fallenness. Out of judgment, out of condemnation.
He has called us out of darkness. Where? Into his. marvelous light. What is this marvelous light?
It's the truth of who Jesus is. What did Jesus say? He says, I am what? The light in the world. He's called us to Christ.
He's called us to salvation. 1 Peter 2, verses 9 and 10, turn your Bibles and let's look at this. Look what Peter does in verses 9 and 10. He gives six descriptions of the church.
Now this is important because this is just like the Great Commission for your personal mission. He gives six descriptions of the church.
He begins with the indicatives. He begins with the gospel, and it's full. crude effects that that happen Who was? He tells us how the gospel creates the church, how it creates you. Look at verse 8.
He describes the church corporately. He says, The church is a chosen race. It's a royal priesthood. It's our holy nation. Look at this one.
This is great. A people for God's own possession. You're God's treasured Possession. That's his church. Look at verse 9.
He describes the church as God's people, the people of God. And he says the church are those who have received, I love this. Mercy. What an amazing description. I don't have, I have more in this sermon to give to you today than I could give to you in a month.
I'm trying to get done so we don't rush the second part of the service, but. This is so rich because this comes straight from the Old Testament. We're the people of God. We're the Israel of God. We're God's chosen race.
We're a holy nation. We're a royal priesthood. We're God's treasured possession. This is what he called Israel. And he applies it to us.
We have been grafted in to become part of God's Israel, the true people of God. And Peter says, with these great indicatives of the gospel and it's a fruit, it's affects life. We have been made recipients of mercy. Who is so thankful today that you're a recipient of mercy? Aren't you so grateful for that that we're not recipients of judgment what we deserve?
But mercy. He's made us recipients of mercy. He's granted to his church this exalted status as the treasured people of God who are God's possession. Then look at verse 9. He gives the purpose of this description.
Peter, listen carefully. This is just like the vocation for Christ's Visible Church of the Great Commission. He grounds the purpose for for your calling. Ah, and the description of who you are. He says, Peter says, that God has made the church recipients of his mercy.
So that what What does he say? You may proclaim the excellencies of him. That's the angelism. That's sharing Christ with others.
So that you can proclaim the excellencies of Him who has, here's the vocation that you've been given, who has called. called you where? Out of darkness. into his marvelous light. Back, look at 1 Peter chapter 1, verses 23 and 25.
Look what Peter says about how God has called us. He's done it through the gospel. He says in verse 23: you have been born again. Hmm? not of corruptible seed but incorruptible through the word of God which lives and abides forever.
God's word is alive. It's not information. It's living. It's acting. It does.
It does things, it performs. God said, let there be what? Light. He spoke into the darkness. There was darkness, and he said, Let there be light.
There was what? White It's performative speech act. When God speaks, he acts. When he speaks, Comes into being. And that's what Paul says.
You've heard this a million times. 2 Corinthians 4, verse 6. God, who said in Genesis 1, verse 3, let there be light. He has shown into our hearts. to give us the light, the knowledge, and the glory of God in the face of Christ.
Paul is saying, Peter is saying that God's word... Spoken through the gospel brings forth light and life. Where there's light, there is life. And he says that God has. born us again.
He has made us new creations through the Word of God, which lives and abides forever. Verse 25. What is this? Word. Look what he says.
He says, verse 25: the word of the Lord. He says, This is the word which by the gospel. was preached to you. God's word of gospel, his good news of gospel. has given us new life.
So that why we can have this exalted status as God's people. Be recipients of his mercy, be his treasured possession, so that that can make us go forth into our callings into the world to proclaim the excellencies of him who has called. called us from this darkness and into his light.
So Peter grounds our purpose, our calling as believers. in the gospel. Matthew through Jesus. Jesus' commission and grounds, the church's great commission, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. I'm with you always.
even to the end of the age. He bookends and mandate to go make disciples of the visible church. He grounds it in the gospel. He grounds the church's mission in the gospel. And he grounds the individual believers.
Calling to this world to share Christ with others. He grounds that in the gospel. Do you see how that works?
So here are four important questions. want to answer, ask and answer today. First, what is evangelism? Second, what is the evangelistic message? Third, what is the motive for evangelism?
And floors. What is the relationship between evangelism and our vocations? All right, very quickly, I just have to shoot through this. What is evangelism?
Now, you would think that the answer is self-evident, but it isn't. J.I. Packer, in his great book, Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God, which I highly recommend. He says that, and he's right when he says this, he says that there's this widespread and persistent habit. of defining evangelism in terms not of a message delivered, But of an effect produced in our hearers.
He's exactly right. He cautions against defining evangelism in terms of an effect achieved in the lives of other people. He says, because isn't Master Say that the essence of evangelizing is producing converts, and all of us know what that pressure feels like, don't we? And what? We don't evangelize because we feel so guilty because we don't, quote, lead people to Christ to make a decision, pray a prayer.
And we can sit now fundraising newsletters. And we had 10,000 conversions this year. And send us your money because we're so effective. I see that all the time. But this is what Packer says.
He says, it's true that the evangelist's aim is to convert. That is true. But the question is not whether one is evangelizing. It can't be settled simply by asking whether you have had conversions. He says there have been missionaries, Muslims, who have labored for.
ate in a lifetime and had no converts. Must we conclude from this that they have not evangelized? Let's support that couple, right, on the mission field who sends us their Christmas newsletter at the end of the year. And they say, We're glad to report that we had no converts this year, and we haven't had any for the past 20 years. Send us your money.
You feel the guilt. Right. Guilt is a horrible motivator.
Now, we shouldn't be indifferent to the fact that we don't have fruit. Let's pray for it. We just heard in Christ's words to us about the parable of the four soils. You're going to sow the seed. That is evangelism.
That is our responsibility. What soil it hits and its effects is not up to us. That's why each week when I get up here, I pray, give us what? You pray with me. Ears to hear.
Give us our Eyes to see, hearts to believe, minds to comprehend. I pray, do for us what we cannot do for ourselves. We have to understand evangelism not in terms of a of results achieved.
So what is evangelism? Again, Packer is very helpful. He says the New Testament answer is very simple. What is evangelism?
According to the New Testament, it's just preaching the gospel, the evangel. That's evangelism. Evangelism is a work of communication in which Christians make themselves mouthpieces for God's message of mercy to sinners. That is what Peter tells us in our text. He has saved you and given you this exalted status.
A recipient of mercy. He's made you his treasured possession.
So that you may proclaim he has done this for you so that you might do this for others. And so, anyone who faithfully delivers that message in whatever vocation, for example, If you're a parent, you have children, that is your mission field. An uncle. A cousin. A friend.
A cutling. A co-worker. An employer, an employee. At the park where your children play, at a sporting event where your children play sports. A dinner table in your home that you've invited a neighbor over to have a meal with.
If you just get the gospel right and share the gospel, that. is evangelism. It's so Simple.
Now, to be sure, when you share the gospel message, yes, your objective is conversion. You don't want to share the gospel with them that calls him out of darkness and into his marvelous light and just say, but I hope that maybe someday you get caught out of darkness. Yeah.
Okay. You're trying to, it's what Jesus says, you're fishers as men. You are trying to throw the net and catch them. It's what Jude says, you're trying to snatch them out of the fire. You want them to have the exact same mercy that you've received.
And so evangelism is not just informing, it's inviting. And it's inviting people, listen very carefully, not to pray a sinner's prayer, not to make a decision for Christ. Right. It's inviting people from your table to Christ's table right here in his visible church. It's inviting the person to who receive, yes, Christ, repent of their sins, yes.
To trust Christ for salvation, yes. But listen. In the context of the Great Commission, Christ said, make disciples how? By means of baptizing. You call them to faith in Christ to become Member of Christ's church to be baptized and to join Christ's visible church.
So that they leave your table and come to Christ's table to be served over a lifetime where disciples are made. in the Great Commission. Evangelism, listen very carefully. Evangelism cannot be separated from membership in Christ Church. Yes, there are extraordinary circumstances by which we share the gospel with people and they might come to saving faith in Christ and they don't have an opportunity at that point to join a church.
I get that. But the ordinary way it's done is you Confess faith in Christ. This is Acts chapters 1 and 2. Peter preached the gospel on the day of Pentecost. The people responded to Peter, What do we do?
And he says, Be baptized and join the church. Confess your faith in Christ. Yes, confess Jesus is Messiah, but be baptized in the end what was it? And they added 2,000 members out there, 3,000 members to the church. the church.
And then it says in verse 42, those people devoted themselves to summarize and word and sacrament for the rest of their life. That's how it works. And so we meet our neighbors at our tables.
So that we can eventually, by the grace of God, we can't make it happen, but by praying and by the grace of God, share with them the mercy of God so they can be brought to Christ's table. Can you imagine the great benefit that they would have for the rest of their life to receive Christ's service at His table? Mercy is at this table week after week. And so, with that said, the way that we can tell whether, in fact, we're evangelizing, is not to ask, have we had conversions, it's to ask, Are we faithfully making known the gospel message? Which brings us to the second question.
What is the evangelistic message? What is the gospel? And again, this question, like the question of what is evangelism, it would seem self-evident. But this is not the case. Even among evangelicals, this word gospel can mean very different things today in our churches.
This question is important because why? Without the proper understanding of the evangel, there's no evangelism. Branton Goldsworthy. He says it like this: He says, It's a matter for some concern that some books and study courses. On evangelism seems to assume that every Christian is absolutely clear about what the gospel is.
And then, what is most needed is help in techniques of explaining the gospel to unbelievers. Says, but experience suggests that this assumption is poorly based and that there is a great deal of confusion among believers about what the gospel is.
Now I understand that there's lots of nuance. We've been hearing this term lately in the evangelical circle, nuance. I understand there's lots of nuance. I understand the gospel is quite large. I'm not going to labor this point.
I'm going to get right to it. What is the gospel? Listen very, very carefully. I'm going to help you understand very simply what it is. This is the gospel.
The gospel is the message. It's a message. It's news. It's nothing you do. It's not an activity you perform.
It's a message that's announced. The gospel is the message about Jesus. And is it about Jesus in his life? Death. Burial, resurrection.
That's the gospel.
Now, you can also put the ascension, you can put his intercession right now, you can put his second coming, but the paramount, to use a graven word, The paramount Aspects of the gospel have to do with Jesus' life, death, burial, and resurrection. Where does that come from? 1 Corinthians chapter 15. Please turn there. I'm going to show it to you.
1 Corinthians chapter 15, look at verse 1. Paul says to the Corinthian church, he says, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you. Verse 3, he's going to tell us the gospel that he preached. He says for I delivered to you of first importance. Paramount.
That's what the name of our church comes from, right there. 1 Corinthians 15 verse 3. I delivered to you Of first importance, that which I also received. He didn't make it up, he received this. This is the tradition, the apostolic tradition that was received, that he received, was given to him.
He says that Christ Messiah, explosive, I've preached on this before. He says, here's the gospel: that Christ Messiah died. But he says, but he died for our sins. That's the gospel.
According to the scriptures, according to the Old Testament, and that he was buried. And that he rose again the third day, according to the scriptures, the Old Testament. Paul says that is the paramount aspect, central core truth of the gospel, right there. It's the message. The announcement of the good news about Jesus and his death for our sins and his burial for our sins and his resurrection.
For our salvation, which is according to the Old Testament, the whole Old Testament teaches the gospel, it teaches it in promise, the New Testament is in fulfillment. There's one gospel, and it's from Genesis to Revelation. Genesis 3:15, the first promise of the gospel, and it comes to the New Testament in fulfillment. It's this announcement of God's mercy that we've received in Christ. The gospel is the distinct work of God the Son, who by his incarnation lived for us, died for us, was buried for us, and rose for us for our sins according to the scriptures, for us and for our salvation.
This is what we confess week after week in the Nicene Creed. Listen carefully to your confession of faith. Because this is the gospel of us and for our salvation. He came down from heaven by the power of the Holy Spirit. He became incarnate from the Virgin Mary and was made man.
Four uh our sake. He was crucified under Pontius Pilate. He suffered death and was buried. On the third day, he rose again in accordance with the scriptures. That's the gospel.
And so Grant Galsworthy is correct when he says Only the message that another true and obedient human. has come on our behalf so that he has lived for us. the life that we should live but can't. That he has paid fully the penalty we deserve for the life we do live but shouldn't. Only this message can give us assurance that we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
He's exactly right. That's the evangelistic message. It's very simple. You don't have to be a theologian. You don't have to have three.
Theological degrees, you don't have to know Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic. You don't have to memorize the whole Bible from Genesis to Revelation. You just have to know the simple gospel and share it with people because Paul says that is the power of God to salvation. It's some good news.
So, what is the motive for evangelizing? Why do we do this? What compels us to go out and share this message? with other people.
Well, here are two motives come immediately to mind. First, the glory of God, right? Everything we do is for the glory of God. Second, love for our neighbor. If you have been called out of darkness and you are not God's possession, and then He called you out of your darkness and made you His treasured possession and made you a recipient of mercy, why would you want to not?
Share that with other people. Do you want everybody else to have judgment, but you get mercy? You say.
So we glorify God by evangelizing. Why? Not just because it's an act of obedience, but because Peter says. Listen. When we proclaim, we proclaim the excellencies of him.
Who called us out of darkness into his marvelous light? God is glorified. He looks good. That's the point. He looks great.
When we proclaim His Excellencies, and what are His Excellencies? The fact that he gives mercy to sinners who don't deserve it, that's excellent. The fact that the people are not his people, he makes them his people. and gives them grace. He looks excellent.
His mighty works of grace make him look excellent. Excellent. And so sharing the gospel with those who have not received Christ, about the saving work of Christ, it glorifies God. It proclaims his excellencies. We make God look great to others.
But there's a third motive that is often overlooked that is in direct. Connection to those previous two: the glory of God, love for others. And it's not just connected to it, but it's the source of those other two. The motive for personal evangelism is the same motive that our Lord. Commission that he gave to his visible church, which is what?
It's the gospel. See, we can't assume the gospel ever, never. We must always be paramount in our thinking and our life. Jesus' great announcement: all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. That's the foundation and motivation for everything that the visible church is called to do and be in the great commission to make disciples: baptizing, Lord's Supper.
Sacraments, teaching. But in the same way, God's mercy received in Christ serves as the foundation and motivation for the Christians' callings into the world, Peter says. Again, listen carefully how Peter grounds the proclamation of the excellencies of God in the indicatives of the gospel and its effects. Just listen carefully in verses 9 and 10, paraphrase like this: Verse 9, you are.
So that you may proclaim. Do you hear that? You are Dot dot dot dot dot, all those aid descriptions. You are that. You are so that you may proclaim.
See, if you don't understand the gospel, you have nothing to proclaim. For, list it in verse 10, for you once were not. But now you are. You once were not the people of God. You had no relationship to the living God.
You were in darkness. You had no mercy, you had judgment. You had no hope, you had despair. You had no future. You didn't have life.
You once were not, but now you are, so that you might proclaim. You see how that works? The declaration of God's praises includes not just worship but evangelism, spreading the good news of God's saving excellencies to all the people that He sends us to. But to share God's excellencies with others, we have to first possess them ourselves and know that. And so, just as the visible church's vocation in the Great Commission is gospel-driven, so too is the individual Christian's vocations in life gospel-driven.
driven What am I saying? I'm saying it like this. Here's how Graham Girlsworthy says it. Evangelism is simply recognized as the chief implication of the gospel being the gospel. In other words, when the gospel rests in my heart, it's the overflow to other people naturally.
It's not forced. It's not a technique. It's not a step one, step two, step three. It's not a track. Pray this prayer.
Go down the road. Make a decision. Come down and raise your hand. Walk the aisle, sign out in line. It's none of that.
Evangelism is just simply the overflow of a life filled with the excellencies of God. You were not a people.
Now you are. You had no mercy.
Now you've received mercy so that you might proclaim. When the gospel fills your heart, evangelism is just simply the natural overflow that occurs in your life as you go about your daily, ordinary life. It's very simple. It's very simple. So here's the last question as we finish.
What's the relationship between evangelism and our vocations? I've already hinted at it several times, so there's no need to labor the point. Let me just get right to it and say it. The place where we come to be made salty and to be lit up like a Christmas tree to receive light is. Word and sacrament in Christ's visible church, the Great Commission, God's gift to you.
But the primary place where we go to be salt and light is in the world through the vocations God has given to us. And we come to the gathered assembly to be nourished. to be equipped, to built up, to receive the work of ministry. And we're sent forth to fulfill our numerous vocations throughout the world. This is where our good works go to, to our family, our friends, our coworkers, and our neighbors who need them.
And so as we reflect today on this, This idea of evangelism in our vocations, you might be thinking, so where do I start? Where do I start? Evangelism sounds so scary and so intimidating. I'm afraid to go knock on a door. You don't have to do that.
In fact, I don't really recommend knocking on doors much in this culture anymore. 'Cause it might get you shot. Yeah.
Get off my property. All right. You don't have to have a theology degree. You don't have to memorize the Bible. You just have to know the simple gospel.
Which is why you come to church. Because that's where you learn the gospel. Not just once, but over and over for a lifetime. Because we as believers need to be given the gospel week after week after week over a lifetime. That's why we come to receive this visible gospel week after week.
That's why we walk past the baptism of God, visible gospel week after week. Everything in church, when you come to church, is like a neon sign flashing to you: gospel, gospel, gospel. Gospel from the baptismal fount, gospel from the Lord's table, gospel from the pulpit, gospel from the lecture, and good news. Everybody, there's good news here for you today.
So where do you start?
Well, start with prayer. Pray and ask God to show you your vocations. What are my vocations? What has He given to me? I'm a father, I'm a husband, I'm a friend, I'm a cousin, I'm an uncle, I'm a co-worker, I'm a I'm a contractor, I'm a UPS driver, I'm a humans resource manager, I'm a whatever it is.
Those vocations are where God in His sovereign wisdom for your life has placed you to be salt and light to those people around you. This is where you already are. This is what you're already doing. It's natural. It's just...
The gospel being the gospel where you are.
So here are some examples. If you have the vocation of a parent, Evangelism starts with your children. Pray for your children. Give them the gospel, not just one time, but throughout their entire life. Parents are called by God in their vocation to bring the gospel again and again to their children, both in the home and in church.
To bring them into Christ's visible church where they're baptized, nurtured, and fed over a lifetime as disciples. That's what Jamie and JT are doing with our children, with our children's curriculum. It just thrills my heart. I don't need my children to come to a church and to get greeted at the door with a bunch of Nintendo games. And so it's so exciting and epic here for your kid today.
I'm asking them, what are you going to teach my child about Christ today? To shape and form them from what they learned in the home this past week. If you're a grandparent, you have the vocation of a grandparent, pray for your grandchildren, share the gospel with them. If you have a job, you have the vocation as an employee, you're as an employee, that's where you are called by God to be salt and light in that sphere. How you share the gospel in that sphere is done in a thousand different ways, which requires prayer and wisdom in many different situations.
There's no situation the same.
So, don't try to share the gospel when it's work hours and Do not get your work done and prevent your coworkers from getting work done. Be the best employer or employee you can be on your job. But if you get to a water fountain, if you have a work break, if you have a lunch break, if you have a coffee break or something, just pray. Pray for people that you work with, and eventually, one day, God's gonna connect you sovereignly with somebody and say, hey, let's go have coffee together. Let's go out to eat dinner after work or whatever it is.
Because somebody that you work with is searching and hurting. lost, looking for answers, trying to connect, particularly after COVID, where we got so disconnected that just destruction took place in our culture with people totally separated and isolated. And so you just pray. Yeah, I don't know where to start. Just start with prayer.
Start praying for the people who you work with every day and say, Lord, they need one person this year, just one person. It might take five years to reach them. It might take 10 years to reach them. It might take five days to reach them. That's God's business.
Our business is to sow and to love. If you have neighbors, that means you have a vocation of being a neighbor. And it's sovereignty. God has planted you where you live to be salt and light to your neighbors. Start praying daily for your neighbors around you.
Pray for them. If time and circumstance isn't right and it's a good and safe thing to do, invite them to your home. Invite them to your table. And ultimately, not as some kind of like bait and switch, but as a genuine overflow, bring them to your table so you can bring them eventually to Christ's table. Where they become recipients of mercy.
Just like you. These are just a few examples of the simple ordinary daily routines of life. lived out purposely for the sake of others. And Peter says, knowing that we have been made recipients of God's mercy, we take that good news and proclaim it to others. Because evangelism is just simply the implication of the gospel being the gospel.
in our lives.
So each week we come to church. We receive this great commission. which drives us to see all people near and far. To have this repeated opportunity, as Catherine tells us each week, with a great smile. Right.
We are gathered to hear the gospel. But leave the The gospel, enjoy the gospel, and when you enjoy the gospel, I can't do it like Catherine. When you enjoy the gospel, you take that gospel and you share it with yourself and others. Right. That's how it works.
And so be thankful today. That you were not the people of God.
Now you are. You had not had mercy.
Now you have received mercy. And so proclaim that reception of mercy to others.
So they can also being God's treasured possession. Amen. Heavenly Father, we thank you for your mercy to us. We don't deserve it. We were lost in darkness, wandering without hope.
And you call this. You called us out of darkness into your marvelous light. made us recipients of mercy in a treasured possession. Let that gospel message sink deep into our hearts and be just the overflow that comes out to others. To proclaim the excellency, to glorify you, to love and serve our neighbor.
And just see those. who don't have mercy become recipients of mercy. just like us. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
John Fawnville sends his thanks for listening today. And before we wrap up, can I tell you about an encouraging book you might want to get soon? It's called Hope and Holiness: How the Gospel Enables and Empowers Sexual Purity. You're not alone if you've tried to conquer sexual temptations and tried all the methods available only to find yourself feeling defeated again. This book may be just what you're looking for.
With his shepherding heart, John shows that the gospel, not practical steps or more self-discipline, is God's provision for the power to live a life of sexual purity. and it's available to every Christian. What I like is the book is available in three convenient ways. paperback, audiobook, or Kindle. The links are in our podcast descriptions or just search for Hope and Holiness by John Fonville on Amazon to get a copy for you and it's a wonderful book to go through with a small group.
