My wife (beautiful woman that she is) got me "Hard to Believe" by John MacArthur for Father's day.

Any opinions on this book?

I've read the first few pages and I'm already impressed.


Hard to Believe was one of the best books that I have ever read. It is a very good book, but very convicting.
I thought I heard that it was sort of a follow of book to his The Gospel According to Jesus, which I still need to read.

If you don't have that one, "The Gospel According to the Apostles" sounds like a more comprehensive book, at least according to MacArthur's introduction.

Also, if you are reading "Hard to Believe" be sure to read this from MacArthur's website: http://www.gty.org/index/sidebar.php?id=377 There was a paragraph altered by the editors that contridicts salvation by grace and not works. MacArthur did not write that paragraph and does not wish the message he delivers to be obscured by one paragraph.

Thanks for the information.

My edition has the correct revision.
