The doctrines of grace, probably better known as the five points of Calvinism, are a highly controversial topic. Almost no one is neutral when it comes to Calvinism. Most either react violently when the subject comes up or completely shut down and refuse to talk about it at all. I question whether people would react the same way if they really understood what the five points actually mean and how grounded they are in Scripture. That is what this book is written to help with. It is a short (less than 100 pages) yet thorough overview of the sovereignty of God and each of the five points of Calvinism. What is great about this book is that it doesn’t just explain the meaning of each point and how it is taught in Scripture (though it does this very well), but really the main thrust is why each of the doctrines of grace is so awesome and God-glorifying when understood Biblically.Friday, May 29, 2009

"The Way of the Master" by Ray Comfort
Who do you know who isn’t saved? A friend? A coworker? A family member? How are you going to reach them? As Christians, we have been given the Great Commission – "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you…" (Matt. 28:19-20a ESV) – yet according to Bill Bright only 2% of American churchgoers ever share their faith with others. Just think about that for a second. Only 2%. There are many reasons that this devastating statistic is true. This book is written to address a couple of the biggest ones by explaining "how to share your faith simply, effectively, biblically…the way Jesus did."
