Reading on Eternal Security is basically reading on Sanctification and Perseverance. The main question is whether one can lose his salvation or whether he will persevere to the end and be finally saved. However, this also must include, at least to some degree, how a person views Calvinism and Arminianism and the related doctrines. The […]

A Boisterously Reformed Polemic Against ...
I ordered this book after seeing a review by a friend. Austin Brown calls himself a “Classically Moderate Calvinist” who does not hold to limited atonement. He is writing against “strict particularists” or hyper-Calvinists who, of course, do hold to limited atonement. I fully agree with Brown’s position on atonement, that Christ’s death is sufficient […]
Full Assurance
Who hasn’t enjoyed and profited from reading Dr. Ironside? I pulled out this 1937 book on salvation and assurance and read it along with some other newer books on the subject, and this one was the best. Typical of older evangelists, Ironside fills the book with personal anecdotes but also with much scripture. His chapters […]
Salvation is Forever
Robert Gromacki was the long-time professor of Biblical Studies at Cedarville College. I had read this book years ago (first edition 1973, second edition 1981) as a young Bible college teacher myself. Gromacki was a dispensationalist and premillennial pretribulationalist, so he was read widely by fundamentalists in those days, myself included. This book is more […]
Salvation
It was my privilege to write the Forward for this small but great book on salvation by Evangelist Ross Crowe. This is a rewrite of an earlier version which is now put into an attractive and usable format. Ross Crowe has been an evangelist most of his life and has also served as an outfitter […]
The Making of an Atheist
James Spiegel is professor of philosophy and religion at Taylor University. This is a 2010 book on atheism from a philosophic and scriptural point of view. Spiegel brings together all of the valid arguments for God including Alvin Plantinga’s (to whom he dedicated this book) argument of sensus divinitatus, or a “sense of the divine,” […]
Five Views on Sanctification
Stanley Gundry is editor of this volume and the “Counterpoints” series. This volume was first published in 1987 but continues to be relevant to any age. The five views on sanctification are the Wesleyan, Reformed, Pentecostal, Keswick, and Augustinian-Dispensational perspectives. John Walvoord wrote the dispensational perspective and gives the traditional point of view from that […]
Foundation Truths of Scripture
Professor John Laidlaw, D.D. (1832-1906) was born and educated in Edinburgh, Scotland, teaching first in the Reformed Presbyterian Church but later joined the Free Church of Scotland. This book, published by T. & T. Clark in 1897, is a book of doctrine laid out much like a systematic theology but much shorter. It is one […]
Getting The Gospel Right
Olson is a graduate of Dallas Theological Seminary and holds a doctorate in Missiology from Trinity International University. This 2005 edition is “an abridged and revised edition of Beyond Calvinism and Arminianism,” 2002. Olson takes on the age-old controversy over Calvinism and Arminianism from a view very similar to Norman Geisler. It is recommended by […]
The Gospel & Personal Evangelism
I have mostly enjoyed Dever’s writings. I often fall short of agreeing with things regarding worship styles and polity, but I like his forthrightness. I want to find good books on evangelism for church and class. This book falls into the same percentage of like and dislike on my part. I liked that it is […]
