These kinds of books take a great deal of patience to read through. However, today’s debates over the nature of God’s foreknowledge demand that we make honest effort at understanding men like Arminius. He, no doubt, was a thoughtful theologian with a desire to retain the sovereignty of God and the free will of man […]

Chosen But Free
I have always enjoyed reading Geisler, and most of us have read him for years in the field of apologetics and philosophy. Here, Geisler speaks to the current issues of “Extreme Arminianism” (seen in the elimination of God’s sovereignty) and “Extreme Calvinism” (seen in the elimination of Man’s free will). Geisler takes issue with Extreme […]
True Spirituality
This is one of those books by Schaeffer that I had missed reading when we were all reading Escape from Reason, How Shall We Then Live?, and The God Who Is There. In this book (first printed in 1971, containing 180 pages) Schaeffer applies the apologetic emphases of his other books into a practical guide […]
Fulfilling Your God-Given Destiny
Do not Treat yourself to this book!! Treat is a charismatic essentially preaching a prosperity gospel. Which is interesting in view of the fact that one of Treat’s earlier books was titled Errors of the Prosperity Gospel. The writer’s treatise is that God has “planned your destiny and He will help you find it” which […]
All of Grace
I picked up this well-know book on a discount rack. It is a book written by Spurgeon directly to sinners who might be so inclined to read about the gospel for themselves (talk about a different age!). I think it (and L.S. Chafer’s True Evangelism) is one of the most relevant books on evangelism from […]
Willing to Believe
This 1997 book by Sproul is a Calvinistic answer to Clark Pinnock, editor of a 1989 volume, The Grace of God, The Will of Man, a case for Arminianism. Sproul points out that though both sides give assent to the freedom of man to choose, the underlying issue is whether prevenient grace from God enables […]
Grace Awakening
Reading Dogged Issues During Dogged Days From The August 1997 Issue of Aletheia. The habit of reading is absolutely critical today, particularly for Christians. As television turns our society into an increasingly image-dominated culture, Christians must continue to be people of the Word. When we read, we cultivate a sustained attention span, an active […]

The Grace of God and the Will of Man
This is a series of fifteen treatise’, written in 1989, by different authors from an Arminian point of view. Pinnock is well known for his views on Hell and a few of the others such as William L. Craig and Richard Rice are well known for their writings on man’s free will. Though I cannot […]
Balancing The Christian Life
The following is a collation of books that I have not had space to include over the last couple issues. I heard Charles Ryrie speak last month and purchased two of his books which I had read before. Balancing The Christian Life has been updated in 1994. The chapter on Lordship salvation is especially relevant […]
