About this audiobook
While pastoring for the past fifteen years, Jared Wilson has become known in contemporary evangelicalism for his passionate, gospel-centered writing and teaching. Following Wilson's well-received publication of Gospel Wakefulness, he writes Gospel Deeps as a "next step" to establishing the need for astonishment, which begins by looking at the astonishing things God has done in and through Christ. Wilson holds up the gospel like a diamond and examines it facet by facet, demonstrating the riches of its implications. This book serves as a valuable contribution to the emerging canon of gospel-centered literature, in the spirit of John Piper's Pleasures of God and Tim Keller's emphasis on a "robust gospel" and continues in the glory-reveling legacy left by Jonathan Edwards, John Owen, and the like. The distinctiveness of Gospel Deeps is found in Wilson's winsome and frequently ecstatic writing voice, as well as his unique approach to showcasing the gospel's beauty.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5"In short," says Calvin, "since rich store of every kind of good abounds in [Christ], let us drink our fill from this fountain, and from no other." Wilson bravely endeavors to unpack this storehouse of all good and grace and glory by leading the reader deeper and deeper into the unfathomable depths of Christ's gospel. Wilson walks the tension well here: going deep, without making his work exclusive to theologians or professors of Greek. Wilson shows his readers how the gospel enriches one's understanding and application of the trinity, suffering, creation, atonement, and much more. The greatness of this work is quite simply in leading its readers to revel in the excellencies of Jesus, as suggested in the book's subtitle. Great read - A.
