was in elementary school,one of my favorite play-ground digs was about spelling:“Don't say words you can'tspell!”For unathletic kids like me,this was the best wecould do.  \nYears later,I no longer hurl this command at belittling bul-lies,but I remain a fan of its ethos.We should know how tospell the words we say.But,for the purposes of this book,I wantto update the saying a bit:“Don't say words you can't define.”  \nIn our era of rejuvenated gospel-centrality,it might soundsurprising to you that“gospel”is precisely one of thosewords.We say it a lot,but I wonder if we can define it.Wehear it a lot,but if next Sunday you asked ten church mem-bers to tell you what it means,I wonder if you wouldn't getten different answers.  \nFor nearly a decade now,Greg Gilbert's What Is the Gospel?has helped Christians and non-Christians alike with this prob-lem.He has helped us to look to God's Word for our definitionof this all-important word:gospel.  \nWe've written this accompanying study guide for one sim-ple reason:to guide you through that book.The structure isnot complicated;the goals are not lofty.It simply walks chap-ter by chapter through the book,forcing you as the reader toslow down and consider what you've read.These questionsare less about content and more about contemplation;lessabout right answers and more about honest reflection.  \nWho's it for?I suppose any Christian will profit bothfrom Greg's book and dwelling on the truths of the gospel.But,more pointedly,this study guide is probably best suitedfor non-Christians or new Christians.Non-Christians willbe pushed to consider their standing before the God whomade them;they'llbe asked to consider what they place theirultimate trust in,and why no answer except the gospel cansuffice.New Christians will be instructed in the elementalsof their faith;by dwelling on the gospel,they'lllay kindlingon their growing affections for Christ.  \nHow do you use it?Alone?One-on-one?In small groups?It doesn't matter.Hopefully,older church members will usethis to disciple younger church members,and Christianswill use it to evangelize
