Book Description
This booklet addresses a misunderstanding widely held among present-day Christians. ‘Calvinism,’ according to the author, has received a bad press and has been unjustly criticized on the grounds that its teachings undermine zeal for Christian mission and evangelism. Taking each of the so-called ‘five points of Calvinism’ in turn, John Benton convincingly shows how the ‘doctrines of grace’ are in fact five beautiful diamonds from which the glories of Jesus wonderfully shine to attract those who are lost in sin.’ He demonstrates how ‘they address the sinner’s deepest fears in the most heart-warming way imaginable’ and comes to the conclusion that ‘rather than being truths of which we are to be wary, they are in fact an integral part of the gospel to be proclaimed.’

I loved reading this little book on the five points of Calvinism while on a short getaway with my family. It warms the heart to be reminded of God’s sovereignty in our salvation, especially in light of how helpless we would be without his work to save us. What’s special about this book is that Benton focuses on how the TULIP, itself, gives us a great way to share the gospel in our evangelism efforts. I could certainly see this book being used in one of two ways primarily: (1) to help someone struggling with the doctrines of grace to slowly walk through the five points and understand that, as sour as they may seem at first, they are actually sweet truths based in Scripture (i.e., maybe each person would read a chapter at a time and then meet to discuss it); and (2) to walk unbelievers, maybe over a few meetings, through the gospel using the book—as, in the end, Benton does a great job of using the TULIP as a gospel presentation itself.
