...These five solas should be the lifeblood of our belief system. The Scripture alone should be our guide and standard of behavior. Even us non-Calvinist must admit that we stand by grace and are saved by grace alone and not based upon our works. Who cannot embrace faith alone for surely, we would agree that we are all saved by faith and without it, we cannot please God? Christ alone is our song and battle cry against our sin and our robe of righteousness before the throne of God the Judge. And, what self-respecting evangelical could find something to argue about living our lives for God’s glory and not our own? I know one can read Calvinism into every page of this book, but from someone who is not a five-pointer, I was refreshed by being reminded of the heart cry of the Reformers. May we never forget or move away from these truths.' Jeff Klick
