Hi, I am new to this site and have been looking at some books that people have been talking about and wanted to see if anyone had read anything by Sam Storms? |

Little did I know he lived here in KC. |

It is a long video

On this note Storms' book on the gifts of the Holy Spirit - "The Beginner's Guide To Spiritual Gifts" - is quite excellent. I see Storms' continuationist views as an upside as well as biblical. |

That is a concern for me as well. I've read some of his blog posts defending the continuationaist position as well as his charismatic practices and they're really very emotional/experiential without scriptural backing.
I'm still trying to figure out amillenialism though, so maybe I'll check out what he's written on it.
His book Chosen For Life is a beautiful explanation of Calvinism compared to Arminianism. He deals with Arminians with tremendous grace and respect and handles their doctrines honestly, carefully digging his way deeper into the contradictions between what they espouse (a kind of works salvation) vs. what they really believe (salvation by grace). I don't think any Arminian would disagree with his description of what they believe, whether they reject the label or not.
I didn't totally agree with his supralapsarian/infralapsarian discussion at the very end of the book, but then I still have a lot to learn about that.
