Gospel 201

Jeff Dodge, MDiv, DMin, PhD, is the teaching pastor at Veritas Church in Iowa City, Iowa. He also directs The Salt Network School of Theology as part of The Salt Network, a church-planting movement focused on establishing multi-generational churches in major university communities. Jeff and his wife, Teresa, have four children and several grandchildren. He is the author of Gospel 101: Learning, Living, and Sharing the Gospel.

“Isaiah 66 was the first text I ever heard Jeff Dodge teach. His conviction to ‘Hear the Word’ marked me—and it echoes through Gospel 201. Reminiscent of the hours I got to spend on his back porch, Jeff writes as a shepherd, teacher, storyteller, and friend who deeply wants his reader to know and follow Jesus.”Rudy Hartmann, Director, Salt Company National“Of the making of many discipleship books there is no end. So I look, not just at the content of a book, but the fruit of the author on the subject. I’ve known Jeff over 40 years and have witnessed the fruit of this book, Gospel 201, in those who’ve sat under his discipleship. Three words: Read this book!”Pat Nemmers, Lead Pastor, Saylorville Church, Des Moines, IA; author of Retractions: Cultivating Humility after Humiliation“Gospel 201 is just the follow-up we needed. From local ministry to the mission field, Christians follow the Great Commission to sow gospel seeds and pray for growth. But what about the seed planted in our hearts? Pastor Jeff Dodge gently yet firmly calls Christians from new believer to missionary alike to look inward, cultivating and nurturing our own inner soil.”Clint Robinson, Missionary, Global Harvest Collective, Bangkok, Thailand“Jeff Dodge is one the gospel ministers I most respect. His life, teaching, and ministry track record all point to a man who loves and lives the gospel. And that’s why I heartily recommend this short book.”Jason K. Allen, President, Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary & Spurgeon College
