The gospel needs to take its rightful place in our lives as the issue we are most passionate about.

From the vantage point of living on another continent and being able to look at US Christianity more objectively, Ryan Porter identifies the gospel deficiency in current Western Christianity - we are Gospelsick. Using his lens of medicine, he both diagnoses the church's illness and provides the treatments needed to recover from the deficiency.

Gospel Deficiency (n.):

the inhibition or minimization of the gospel of Jesus Christ in the lives of his followers (those in the church), characterized by increased fear and obsession with worldly interests, and leading to a decrease in the benefits of the world-changing gospel in us and in our proclamation of it to others.

Reviews for Gospelsick: A Missionary Doctor's Prescription for Church Revival

Gospelsick offers new nomenclature and an engaging perspective on the current reality of the American church. And as we might expect from a medical doctor, we are given not only a diagnosis of our collective disease, but a cure. -- Shane L. Bishop, Sr., Pastor, Christ Church, Fairview Heights, Illinois, and author of That's Good News and The Ping Life Gospelsick is an incisive view into many of the problems that ail the American church. The cure presented is very simple, the Gospel. Yet it is also a complex cure that Ryan thoughtfully articulates as he carefully describes various Gospel-centered treatments. -- Phil Bauman, SIM International Director I am very pleased to endorse Dr. Porter's book, Gospelsick. I so appreciate his emphasis on the power of the Gospel for salvation, and to transform one's life. -- Charles Fielding, MD, author of Preach and Heal
