Great outline of the Gospel and what it means to be a Christian. I had to read this for school so it wasn't super pleasurable but it has good content.

I especially appreciate that this document expresses that values of creation care and care for God's created. Good to see an Evangelical expression of appreciation for creation and humanity as more than simply a means to an end.
