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

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 […]
The Roman Catholic Controversy
James White also authored The King James Only Controversy in 1995. This 1996 “Controversy” book is directed toward the continuing debate over how evangelicals should consider the faith of Roman Catholics. White follows the view that Catholics cannot be considered true believers if they are basing their faith on the Roman Catholic Church’s doctrine. White […]
Luther’s Theology of the Cross
The title of this book would not have been inviting to me except for a desire to understand the biblical concept of being crucified with Christ. Whether or not one is a fan of Lutheran or Reformation theology, understanding the personal struggle of this Augustinian monk from works to grace is uplifting. The author notes, […]
Faith Alone
This 1995 Baker book is a Reformed or Protestant answer to the Evangelicals and Catholics Together accord. It is forwarded by Michael Horton and recommended by John MacArthur, R. Albert Mohler, Jr., James M. Boice and Jerry Bridges. Sproul has done a great service to those of us who cannot agree with the accord in […]
