<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Do Christians choose to have faith, or is faith a supernatural work of God? Far from an abstract intellectual exercise, this question has vast implications for the hope, joy, and assurance of the Christian life. When the truth of God's sovereign grace breaks into our minds and hearts, it changes everything.</p><p>In <i>What's So Great about the Doctrines of Grace?</i> Dr. Richard D. Phillips takes us on a tour of the doctrines of grace, also known as the five points of Calvinism. With clear biblical exposition, he helps us to see the extent of our corruption in sin, to anchor our faith in the fullness of grace, and to trust in God's promise to finish what He started--the salvation of His people. When we rely on God's all-sufficient grace, we can truly live for His all-consuming glory.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Richard Phillips has done it again! In summarizing the doctrines of grace in this book, he brings us into the arena of historic Calvinism, which, as C. H. Spurgeon said, "is the Gospel and nothing else." But what we have here is more than just a retelling of the doctrines themselves; it is an account of why these truths <i>matter</i> in the church of the twenty-first century. Its enthusiasm is infectious, its urgency compelling, and its logic irrefutable."</p>--Dr. Derek W.H. Thomas<br><br><p>"Rick Phillips has an unbounded love for the doctrines of grace and writes about them with an enviable simplicity and clarity. Here is persuasive exposition of biblical teaching that captures the thrill of knowing a sovereign God. <i>What's So Great about the Doctrines of Grace?</i> never loses sight of the grace to which these doctrines point. This is a wonderful book to read, study, lend, and give away."</p>--Dr. Sinclair B. Ferguson<br><br><p>"The heart of the gospel is contained in the doctrines of grace. To understand these truths is to understand the height, depth, breadth, and length of the saving grace of God for sinners. Richard Phillips has done an outstanding job of capturing the heartbeat of these precious truths. Prepare your heart to be greatly blessed as this pastor and author guides you into a greater appreciation of the sovereign grace of God."</p>--Dr. Steven J.
