Book Description:
Calvinism for Dummies is a must for any non-Calvinist, budding Calvinist or seasoned Calvinist. This trustworthy, no-nonsense guide shows readers how to understand Calvinism from a Biblical perspective. Readers will learn all about T.U.L.I.P., and how to distinguish Calvinism from Hyper-Calvinism.
Addressing the questions facing both new and old Calvinists in a clear and straightforward manner, this book gives the basics of what Calvinism is and is not. Included are tips on proper exegesis, consistency in understanding what the Bible has to say and examples of sovereign election and predestination throughout Scripture.
No matter where you are on the theological spectrum, Calvinism for Dummies is the perfect book to help you understand Calvinism.
Excerpts:
"Okay, let's imagine a dead man laying on the floor in your house for a moment. I know it's a gross thought, but let's just pretend. Well, you're not too fond of him being there so you scream out 'get up!' but unfortunately he doesn't move. You've got quite a mess on your hands don't you? So you play him some Kenny G...nothing happens...You show him some Thomas Kincade pictures... nothing...You put on your Riverdance CD...nothing. The problem is that he's dead, and no matter what you do he's not going to get up and walk away! Just as a dead man cannot get up and walk, so a man (or woman) who is 'dead in sins and trespasses' cannot respond to the call of the gospel unless he (or she) is first made alive. So how are we going to get that dead man to get up and walk off of Grandma Fanny's antique rug? It's going to take a miracle."

O, how you tease us...
you didn't include a price.
This is actually a very good idea.
This blog is quite a ways from "Ave Verum Corpus" and Siberian Grits. Very fun.
Now I wonder if there is anti-Armenian software as well...
Anti-Armenian? I know there's a couple of schisms and a reformation between the Eastern Orthodox and us Protestants, but we are brothers and sisters in Christ.... ;)
Hard to laugh at, because I saw "Christianity for Dummies" and "Christian Prayer for Dummies" in Books-A-Million the other day. I grieve. O! How I grieve!
You crack me up - I have a bad day if I don't visit your site.
In case you need my permission, you may come out of the box whenever you want to.
I believe this book was specifically designed for Ergun Caner, Nelson Price, Dave Hunt, and Norman Geisler.
Tuxini,
Glad to know the site is making people smile! Thanks.
