Gospel Portions is a soul-strengthening supply of warm and potent expressions of the core truths of the good news of Jesus Christ. Drawing from the treasure trove of Puritan writings, Ryan Bush mines out for us a collection of theological gems—Scriptures, hymns, prayers, and readings that remind us the gospel is not to be a one-time meal, but daily nourishment for the weary pilgrim.
Ryan Bush labored to produce Gospel Portions so that the blood-bought children of God could draw near to the gospel fire and warm their souls. The gospel saved us; the gospel also sustains us. The precious truths of the gospel fortify our souls against our enemies. When our hearts are kept warm by the gospel fire, we are enabled to root out the condemnings of our conscience and the deceptions of the world and of the Devil. We need an arsenal of gospel portions at the ready to which we can turn our hearts. Fellow pilgrim, may this humble work serve that purpose in your life. Drink deeply from this well of grace and mercy. Put your faith in the groaning Savior upon the cross, and your hope in the living Intercessor at the right hand of God.
Gospel Portions is traditionally styled with grace and durability in mind. It is printed on heavy weight paper that includes large margins and additional blank pages for note-taking. The font is large and readable. Each volume includes a sewn-in ribbon to help keep your place in each of the four sections. The 6 x 8 supple cover is flexible and made of durable simulated leather with burnished branding, titling, and art. We believe this little devotional will be useful in your personal devotions, family worship, and times of fellowship with other believers.

"In functional terms, Christians tend toward thinking that God's grace saves us, but after that, we've got to get ourselves to glory. This simply is not true; in Scripture, we hear Paul warmly remind us that "our sufficiency is from God" (2 Cor. 3:5). As Ryan Bush notes in this marvelous book, "The gospel saved us; the gospel also sustains us." That's the secret to joyful Christianity and to empowered sanctification. The gospel is not just the power of God to regenerate; it is the power of God to transform. To let that sink into your soul, read this book, enjoy this book, and feed on the life-giving truth of God found in it. Do so knowing this: God will bring you all the way home."
