The Plan of Salvation is, in a number of ways, a helpful and encouraging pamphlet for those who wish to share the good news of salvation. The general sense that I get after reading it, however, is that humanity has fallen into an unfortunate predicament and that God has been nice enough to get us out of it. For some reason, the lostness of the sinner has been muted, the transcendence of God seems less than obvious, and the kingship idea alone has taken its place. Having said that, there is a very good section on how evil works its way through things, warping human relationships with God, with other humans, and with nature, and there is a creditable discussion of forgiveness and reconciliation. As well, the Romans Road section and, particularly, the one called Presenting the Good News present Biblical emphases. Rose Publications has given me an advance copy of this pamphlet in return for a fair assessment
