review 1: I'm not a Calvinist but I enjoy Smith's work and couldn't resist this book at 2.99 for the kindle. My big wish after reading this book is that more Calvinists of the "young, restless and reformed" variety would pick it up and read it. Though not a Calvinist, I agreed with over 90% of what he wrote in this book Much of it centers on topics like the redemption of culture, the place of creeds and the importance of worship and spiritual formation. I suppose there will always be disagreements between Christians on unconditional election, prevenient grace and other such topics. And I still have trouble seeing how the way some Calvinists portray God could give us a God who is “loving” in any sense of the word. That aside, if you’re a Calvinist read this book and if yo... moreu’re not a Calvinist you might want to give it a go too.
review 2: This book is really short and to the point. It's also very imaginative and engaging. If you're a young calvinist or simply a die-hard calvinist, you should read this book; you'll like it. And if you're an arminian, this book should help you appreciate the fact that there are a lot of reasonable Calvinists in the world. I gave this book 5 stars, not because it was flawless or because I would describe everything the way he does, but because it's a very reasonable book. A Calvinist who throws this book away out of disgust has serious problems. less
