If you are new to Reformed theology, this is the place to start!  This book has changed a lot of lives!  Lots of biblical and historical content.  Well-written and engaging.  A great introduction for people new to the Reformed faith, but is also good for those wishing to bone-up on basic Reformed doctrine.

This wonderful book is both a personal testimony and a theological primer.  A great way to introduce people to the Reformed faith and its practices.  Dr. Godfrey's book is thoughtful and winsome and reminds us that Reformed theology is not just for pointy-headed intellectuals--even though he (Dr. Godfrey) is often thought of as one.  He's a regular guy, a scholar and a gentleman--a rare combination.  This book is highly recommended.  Great to give away to your non-Reformed friends. 

It is one thing to give up dispensationalism.  But what do you put in its place?  Here's an outstanding introduction to classical Reformed covenant theology.  This is the way to read and understand the Bible!  This one will rock your world--whether you be a dispensationalist, a progressive dispensationalist, or even a Reformed Christian who gets unnecessarily squeamish about a covenant of works.  Michael is a great theologian, a superb writer, and most importantly, my friend.

The Goldsworthy trilogy will introduce you to the redemptive-historical way of reading and understanding Scripture.  Very helpful.  Good for home Bible studies and small groups.

What should Christian worship look like?  Why use a liturgy?  Why focus on preaching and sacraments?  Why not just "follow the Spirit?"  This is a brilliant book and will remind all who read it of the centrality of biblically-based worship to the Christian life.

Dr. Godfrey makes dead people and old places come alive--figuratively speaking, of course.  This is a delightful book and will introduce readers to the people and events Reformed Christians think important.

Francis Schaeffer had one great gift (he had many, actually, but I'm focusing upon one).  It was the ability to show us that ideas have consequences.  Schaeffer's apologetic efforts have some weaknesses--but he presses us to see how Christians should interact with non-Christians in ways most other Reformed apologists miss.  Many Reformed apologists, it seems, were too busy debating each other about how to do apologetics, while Schaeffer was out there actually engaging non-Christian thought. 

James White versus Dave Hunt reminds me of watching Godzilla take on Tokyo--Tokyo gets flattened, as does Dave Hunt.  White's case is clearly grounded in the text of Scripture, while Hunt focuses on ad hominem arguments and specious readings of texts he doesn't fully grasp.  But it is good to see just how biblically-based the Reformed faith truly is--especially if all of this is new to you.

This is James White's response to Norm Geisler's book, Chosen But Free.  Norm Geisler is a much more worthy and thoughtful opponent for White than Dave Hunt (see above)--but the outcome is still the same.  The reason why is obvious--the Bible teaches that God is sovereign, not the will of man.  It teaches that we are dead in sin, and that unless God acts to save us from our sins, we would remain dead in our sins, and quite happy about it.  Here is a solid defense for the Reformed doctrines of total depravity, unconditional election, and effectual calling.  Nicely done.

A great book on a Reformed approach to evangelism.  Yes, Calvinists do believe in it and think it important!

All truly biblical theology begins with the holiness of God.  This is a wonderful book.  A great book to give to someone new to the Reformed faith, or to someone interested in Reformed theology.

Many people hate the doctrine of predestination.  They cannot tell you why and give lame excuses.  Yet this doctrine is clearly taught in the Bible.  This is a good book to give to someone struggling with this issue and who will actually take the time to consider what Scripture teaches about how God saves sinners, who can do nothing to save themselves. 

It is always hard to find a good basic book which provides an introduction to the life and doctrine of a Reformed church.  Rev. Hyde has finally provided us with a book which can be used in new believers classes, new members classes, or even for personal study.  If you are in the process of becoming Reformed and considering attending a Reformed church, this book will tell you what you need to know!
