excesses of Reformed theology. Here you will find a resounding call to sincere, earnest and (thoroughly) Biblical gospel preaching. If you are confused by the doctrines of grace or you find yourself troubled by the logical conclusions being drawn by some Calvinists read this book!

This book briefly chronicles the controversy over this divisive and un-Biblical view of God's sovereignty in Spurgeon's day.

A great read for anyone wanting to understand more on these topics and some of the key players in it like Gill, and in Spurgeon's day James Wells etc..

Well worth reading!
