Written in 1989, this book has been the declaration voice of the Free Grace Movement. At that time Hodges was the long-time professor of New Testament Greek at Dallas Seminary. Since his departure from that seminary he has been influential in founding and writing for the Grace Evangelical Society (GES) which advocates the Free Grace […]

The Gospel Worthy of All Acceptation
Charles Spurgeon called Andrew Fuller the greatest theologian of his day. Fuller pastored in Kettering and considered himself a “strict Calvinist.” However, his associations with Ryland, Sutcliff, Carey, Pearce and Hall, led them all (all being strict Calvinists) to propose that the gospel must be taken to the heathen. Fuller wrote this treatise in 1785, […]
An Enquiry
In 1792 a group of nonconformist Particular Baptists were praying together about what could be done for missions. Many Particular (Calvinistic) Baptists did not believe anything could be done by human means to reach people in foreign lands. In May of that year William Carey expressed his own heart in the above titled booklet which […]
Going Public with Your Faith
I finished this book with a real 50/50 attitude. It is a Zondervan book but done by Focus on the Family with which the authors have close connections. I appreciated the emphasis on evangelism in the world, not just in the church. I believe our churches have to realize that people aren’t getting saved just […]
Are Fundamentalists Legalists?
Before Dr. Pickering went home to be with the Lord he wrote, among the many books he authored, what I think may be his most important words to our generation. The booklet is a reply to Charles Swindoll’s The Grace Awakening (1990, 1996). Swindoll caricatures Fundamentalists as being “squint-eyed legalists spying out and attacking another’s […]
Water of Life
This small book is forwarded by Charles Spurgeon and reprinted in America by Gospel Publishers in MT. I found this copy in a used book store. Listen to Bunyan on the abuses of grace: “Alas! What can be expected of him that has nothing in him to teach him to manage that knowledge of grace […]
How Can I Be Sure I Am A Christian?
I was presently surprised by my first reading of Donald Whitney. As a pastor, I’m always searching for material to give to people to help them in their needs. Assurance of salvation is a common area of concern for many believers. Whitney gives a thoughtful and practical guide for those who are doubting. He also […]
The Gospel and Its Ministry
As is often the case with rereading old books (being now over 100 years old), I thoroughly enjoyed the book, again! Anderson was once the head of Great Scotland Yard, London, and wrote many books including prophetic books such as The Coming Prince, on the book of Daniel. This is a book on basic Christian […]
Predestination and Free Wil
This is another of the “Four Views” books that allows four authors to present their view of the subject and then three other authors to respond. John Feinberg and Norman Geisler present two views upholding God’s sovereignty over Man’s free choices. Bruce Reichenback and Clark Pinnock present two views denying God’s knowledge over those events. […]
The Potter’s Freedom
The sub-title of the book is “A Defense of the Reformation and a Rebuttal of Norman Geisler’s Chosen But Free.” I reviewed Geisler’s book in the July, 2001 issue of Aletheia to which I gave a favorable review because I like Geisler’s position. I have liked White’s material before, but I don’t hold his extreme […]
