good up till the point in time they were supposed to leave VietNam and became a prisoner in Laos
This is a short book that gives an introduction to the doctrines of grace. That's right, TULIP. Just mentioning TULIP or Calvinism carries connotations and evokes a variety of reactions. Phrases like Unconditional Election or Limited Atonement aren't exactly enticing on first glance. I used to wince at the terms too. I actually took no interest in them. A book like this would have been extremely helpful. It's written with humility, uses scripture and logic rather than emotion to support its arguments and simply directs us to how a triune God works to save His people. The thing I enjoyed most was at each point Phillips highlighted what makes the doctrines significant beyond the academic level. Obviously a 100 page book is only an introduction and must limit its scope, but I would have appreciated more time on responding to some of the common objections (although he does address several objections). Overall a really encouraging book.
i have read this book many many times. i first picked it up based solely upon its cover. it has death driving a yellowish corvetteish car in a city. it looked cool. i didn't even realize it was in a series, or that is was sci-fi/fantasy. but is was and is good. the other books in the series (there are like 4 more i think) are ok, i only read them once each, long long ago, when i was frying and simultaneously steaming in india one lovely and humid summer. but on a pale horse looks at death and how people think of death and the afterlife, what constitutes sin and evil and good. plus there's a deathsteed thats sometimes that corvetteish vehicle.
