I'm reading Grace Unknown right now. What do you all think of him as a writer? I'm finding this book to be pretty understandable and fairly easy to read. So far, so good.

In your opinion, are other books of his better? More informative?

I like Sproul but truth is I find Pink and Spurgeon easier going , Sproul tends to sometimes get technical an philosophical , which can sometimes be just what I need , I enjoyed His Book ........ 'Not A Chance" ....... but again I have to be in the mood for that clinical type of thinking ........

God Bless Sister :hug:

Oh, man: Everything. R.C. is one of my most influential authors. What I love about him is that he has a very logical, analytical mind like I do. His explanations and reasoning for TULIP click on the first read for me. I haven't had a chance to read all of his books yet, but I'm halfway through Chosen by God and it's easily shaping up to be my favorite thus far.

The Last Days According to Jesus

It is a great partial preterist treatment of Christian eschatology.

RC Sproul a partial preterist? Cool. I've only just "heard" of him(Sproul) since becoming a calvinist only a few months ago. There are many authors I've yet to read. He's the first I've picked, and so far I like his style. It's very systematic, which is what I need right now. I'm still trying to figure out what the belief system is beyond TULIP, and trying to delve deeper into each of the acronyms.

But that he's a PP is pretty cool. It's what I've been leaning toward lately...since I've pretty much ditched dispensationalism.

Fantastic author. You won't find a bad book by him. I just went to one of his conferences and it was fantastic. It was "The Invisible Hand" conference which dealt with the providence of God. If you ever get a chance to hear him in person he is amazing.

God bless
