Summary: Scholarly yet extremely easy to read
Comment: Michael Horton in this book clears up many false presuppositions of people against Calvinism. In my own journey to Calvinism I struggled particurlarly with the doctrine of Limited Atonement. Horton defines it rather as "Particular Redemption." After reading this spin of it, my own logical fallacies were swept away and I began to rejoice in a God so beautiful as to ransom me. Another interesting part of the book is the end where he in gives the reader a bibliography to pursue furhter study. Also, he quotes extensivley from Church Fathers and their view on the 'Doctrines of Grace'. My only disagreement with Horton is his view on infant baptism. This is only natural, I being a Baptist. Be that as it may, this is a wonderful book and will be very helpful in helping young Calvinists gently and persuasivly explain their beliefs to their Arminian brethren.

Summary: A most excellent introduction to Reformed/Biblical thought
Comment: This simple and easily understood volume is one of the best, if not THE best introduction to Biblical Christianity. Horton explains man's helpless condition and his need for a grace that only God can provide. He shows that the Triune God is not only the finisher of faith but also its author. Not only does he document these doctrines with Scripture but he also provides a nice appendix which contains several quotes from Christian thinkers throughout the history of the Church, showing that the idea of sovereign grace is not some new theory of Christianity developed by the Reformers, but that the message of grace is the very heart of Christianity. This book explains how the grace of God through Christ is truly amazing and that 'Salvation is of the LORD.' 5 stars.

Summary: Interesting read, deceptive title
Comment: I probably would never have got to the end of the book except I was reading it on the exercise bike at the gym! However I was glad I persevered. I think it is an excellent presentation of calvinism, but the title is deceptive because grace is not really the main focus of the book.
