They also consider the current challenges, leaving no doubt that the church suffers when these doctrines of grace are neglected. Only in a gospel that is practical-minded, kindhearted, and Bible-based will God's people rediscover the rock-solid foundation on which all of the Christian faith rests and from which the church's greatest periods of expansion and faith have come.--Back cover ER -
