My sons (college age) read "Doctrine". Both told me that they felt like it didn't give enough explanation - in essence, it was too simple. I see Driscoll's reasoning in writing it that way though. The three of us are reading Grudem's "Systematic Theology" and we are loving it!

Just got my copy in the mail yesterday... it has several other works by John Owen in it as well. I'm making it my winter read.

I read it as an arminian and it rocked my world a bit... :) I understand the "overuse" of "Christian hedonist", but I think his purpose in that is to call you back as often as possible to the definition. Because we are not used to the term, it takes a number of chapters to drill the concept...

To offer the gospel to those far from God is the most loving thing I can think of apart from a perfect God-man hanging on a cross in my stead. I think it's more proof that we don't know the love of Christ for ourselves when we don't share. Her comment is kin to the adage... I just live the...

Hi! Just joined yesterday and can't wait to get acquainted! What fun!:D

Pleased to meet you! So shocked and excited about the variety of people who meet here! It's the coolest!
