Revival or Riot Gospel

This bookzine is a gospel course written for young people by young people. Devotional workbooks and tools created as magazines great for bible study or introducing people to Christ

It presents the Gospel of Jesus Christ the Messiah in a refreshed, revamped, Holy-Spirit-we-need-you way.

The language is easy. The tone is laid back, but the content is super serious. This isn’t a lecture; we want you to be at peace, nice and easy, open hearted and ready to receive.

But at the same time, a lotta this stuff just might be presented to you in a new way. Sometimes disturbing (we hope so). Sometimes hard to believe (we pray so). And for most part, we hope, life-changing (we believe so!). So… you’re gonna need to courage – hey it’s gonna be outta your comfort zone we know it’s gonna be hard. You’re gonna need prayer (you’re gonna need help).
