So, God had me rewrite my book, and I just wanted to share what I got so far :3
CHAPTER ONE: GOOD NEWS!!!
I thank Jesus Christ, our Lord for whoever is reading this, whether pastor, homosexual, atheist, Jew, Muslim, porn star, drug dealer, WHOEVER! Honestly, I don't care about your sin. I'm not gonna point it out, because God isn't pointing it out.
As you read this, I want you to keep your mind set on Jesus, even if you don't believe in the Lord. I firmly believe that the people who truly understand God the most are those who avoid Christians. Because they know there is more to God than what they have been told. They know Jesus isn't an angry guy, and they been turned off by the angry guy behind the pull-pit.
I got Good News for you.
Would you like to hear that Good News?
And I am talking to the non-believer here; but whether you believe in Christ or not, you're sins are no longer being held against you. You are completely forgiven. You might not be saved, but you are forgiven.
(Verse references: Hebrews 8:12-13, 2 Corinthians 5:19, Romans 4:7-8 1 Peter 3:18, Hebrews 9:28) [Study Hebrews 10]
God is not holding your sin against you, in fact, if you aren't a Christian, and another Christian pointed out your sins, (notice I didn't say sin) then they were in the wrong. The only sin the Holy Spirit convicts NON-believers of is unbelief.
They should have been telling you what I am telling you now, and what the apostles preached... They should have been telling you about Christ's finished works.
All your sin is, is a sign of unbelief. That's all.
You're forgiveness will benefit you absolutely nothing if you don't live in Christ.
I like to look at it like this; God is wearing blood covered glasses. He looks down at Earth, and all He sees is the Blood of Christ. Not that He can't see your sin, He just chooses to not hold it against you.
Now, shall we sin so grace abounds?
No. Grace empowers us to over come our sin.
Jesus Christ is the only solution. Not you changing who you are, but rather Christ changing who you are.
So if you are reading this book, and you have never accepted Christ, it's simple. Ephesians 2:8 says we are saved by grace through faith. Romans 10:9 says if you confess with your mouth that “Jesus is Lord” and believe (put faith) in your heart that God raised Christ from the dead, you will be saved..
So if you wanna accept Christ, it's that simple. Confess, and believe. Yep, it's that simple. Any gospel making it more complicated than that isn't a gospel at all, no matter how zealous the person was for God.

This does not sound like the beginnings of a book, but rather an opinionated article, impressed by your own ideas that you are speaking as though "truth" with no real authority in some areas?
