By John Calvin
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Small yet packed with great wisdom. This book seeks to not to set the reader straight but enable them to fully understand issues concerning faith with biblical, and non-biblical illustrations. However the script could confuse solely due to the older language and NKJV passages used, but this book is truly worth pesevering to the end. The last chapter and conclusion give a unique personal touch that is encouraging.

Purchase this book if you want to explore God more closely and understand more about the Christian faith. Recommended to me by other Christians and cited in other books. Well worth a look at.

Pure Gold -- Of Greater Worth Than A World of Lesser Books
27 May 2005
By Jonathan A Blevins
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Words cannot do justice to this short, but powerful work of Charles Spurgeon. It is, without a doubt, one of the single greatest non-canonical books ever written. Herein Spurgeon sets forth in no indefinite terms the way of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Spurgeon's deep-felt love for his Savior and for his fellow sinners shines forth on every page, in every phrase of this phenomenal volume. He brings the gospel to his readers with pointed illustrations, well-placed anecdotes, irrefutable arguments, heart-felt pleas and (above all else) the plainly-spoken and rightly-applied word of God.
Make no mistake, this is a book for everyone, not only for the unsaved. It is the word of salvation to the lost, food for the hungry, encouragement for the weak, comfort for the grieving, and hope for the hopeless. It is "the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes" (Romans 1:16). This is a book especially for the strong in faith. There is no greater encouragement to the soul of the truly faithful Christian than the pure gospel of salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
Perhaps you will ask, "How can you say such things about a book written 1800 years after the apostles lived and died?" Read the book for yourself and find out. I make no exaggerated claims. The heart of faith will find treasures within these pages the likes of which are not to be found outside the Holy Scripture itself. To say that this book is worth its weight in gold would not do it justice, for how much gold is worth a man's soul? Or how much gold is worth the calm assurance of salvation and hope of eternal life to the believing heart? No... there is no price that can be placed upon the truth this book contains. Will you not spare a mere $10 to examine it for yourself?
Edition Note: This same volume is reproduced in "The Anointed Life", a compilation of some of Spurgeon's writings and sermons, along with another excellent volume entitled "Faith".

Salvation for the lost
9 Feb 2000
By Chris Jurgenson
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Upon reading the first two chapters of this book I began to think that it was merely an introduction to Christianity with a simple gospel message, but as I read further it became apparent that this book is a wonderful wellspring of encouragement and truth for any believer, regardless of their walk with the Lord. Ch. 5 is especially powerful with the Grace of Jesus Christ giving us the power over all sin through faith that God can actually give us a new heart and a new spirit. Though this is impossible of our own devices, it is entirely possible through God, and through Him alone. It brings to light that though the Gospel message is not so complicated no person can understand its importance or meaning (else Christ's work on the cross would be for naught), the Gospel goes beyond the simple lay-person preaching that is so common today which is done in the name of supposedly "reaching everyone". Such preaching does not bring the lost to God, but rather gives them a false impression of what salvation is, and can lead to a desire for Christ for selfish gain rather than a desire to repent an pursue true Holiness. I highly recommend this book on the basis of the life-changing message which it promotes, and the resulting power of God from which such a change is instigated.

Salvation is All of Grace
13 Nov 2004
By Roy Ingle
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Mass Market Paperback
While I have often been disappointed with some of the Whitaker books of Charles Spurgeon for the editing, I greatly enjoyed this edition published by Moody Press. The book is indeed the actual sermons that Charles Spurgeon preached on the grace of God for our eternal salvation.
Spurgeon was a genius. There is simply no one to match him as a preacher in the English world. While his voice can never be heard, Spurgeon's sermons live on and this is a classic on grace. Too often we fail to understand the grace of God. Many claim God's grace for their sins but never truly repent from their sins (Jude 4). Many more claim grace but never pursue holiness (Titus 2:11-12). God's grace enables us to live for Christ from the start to the finish. In fact, apart from the grace of God no one could be saved (Romans 3:23-24; Eph. 2:8-9). Spurgeon clearly shows this from Acts 16:30-31.
For those longing to know more about the grace of God, this book will build up your knowledge and faith (2 Peter 3:18). While short, it carries a powerful and timeless message.
