The Joy of Calvinism: Knowing God’s Personal, Unconditional, Irresistible, Unbreakable Love

PUBLISHED: February 29, 2012 PUBLISHER: Crossway ISBN: 1433528347

REAL CALVINISM IS ALL ABOUT JOY. But too often the defenders of Calvinism explain it only in highly technical, formulaic, and negative terms. As a result, most people today don’t understand what “Calvinism” really is. They’re robbed―in whole or in part―of the everyday experience of devotional joy that a robust and well-formed Calvinistic piety always produces.

This book will show you how Calvinism can transform your everyday walk with God by unlocking the purpose of the Christian life, and how you can have the joy of God in spite of trials and suffering. It’s time we rediscovered the joy of Calvinism.
