(1) Thanks for all the interest and prayers regarding my new book “Twelve What Abouts”. I have been getting some very encouraging feedback from those who have read the manuscript. I have also been grateful for the very helpful suggestions they have provided. It is due to be published in e-Book form the first week of January, 2012. I trust it will be a real blessing to people.

(4) “What are the ‘doctrines of grace’ and why do they matter? Such is like asking, “What does the Bible teach about the very heart of the gospel, and does it matter one way or the other?” The doctrines of grace are the biblical teachings that define the goal and means of God’s perfect work of redemption. They tell us that God is the one who saves, for His own glory, and freely. And they tell us that He does so only through Christ, only on the basis of His grace, only with the perfection that marks everything the Father, Son, and Spirit do. The doctrines of grace separate the Christian faith from the works-based religions of men. They direct us away from ourselves and solely to God’s grace and mercy. They destroy pride, instill humility, and exalt God. And that’s why so many invest so much time in the vain attempt to undermine their truth.” – James White
