No energy to do a bigger review. But this is a book to get. Basically, it’s purpose is to answer the big “So What?” question regarding the Doctrines of Grace. What difference does Calvinism make to the way you live? How does it effect your prayer, your assurance, your sanctification, the way you look at evangelism or adversity? The chapter on “Law & Liberty” is better than many books written on either subject. Good read. Easy read. Powerful read. Haven’t seen my wife this into a book not written by J. K. Rowling in years.
My pal, Mark Gibson (or whoever writes the “Book of the Month” blurb for his church says:
If anyone is foolish enough to think that theology, particularly Calvinistic theology, is impractical, he needs to read this book. And even if you don’t, read it anyway. Terry Johnson has provided a splendid work on how right theology bears upon our worship, character, suffering, witness and growth in the Christian life. This is exactly what the evangelical church needs because, whether evangelicals know it or not, their future as a viable movement depends upon the rediscovery of such God-honoring theology.
Basically, get it and read it.
