    Gospel Must Dominate Admonition
  

*by R***M on Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2009*

I confess that I am an underliner, corner page folder, margin note maker kind of reader when I find passages that particularly impress or concern me.  I don't remember reading one like this where so much of this has been done. Almost every page has some great wordsmithing going on!This is important book which seeks to right the ship of American Christianity, which is taking on too much water of a market driven, pleasure seeking, self-help culture whose love for God and truth is waning.  Being a student and follower of the Reformation, Horton sees in this the reestablishment of the domination of the Gospel in all its purity and power along with the proper speaking of the law to repentance which is also necessary.Tired of the enthusiasm the church expends on compromising with the culture, Horton suggests we get back to the real Good News proclaimers we are in the means of grace.  He almost sounds Lutheran, except when he gets to the Sacraments, he sounds a little guarded.  This is but minor concern when posed against the wonderful effort he provides with such good illustrations and phraseology to get the church back on the straight and narrow path."The fear of God must become greater than the fear of boredom" he writes.  How true this has become.  We are bombarded with new and innovative technology that seeks to rule us and sour our appetite for reality.  When playing a fake cooking game replaces time actually cooking, when playing sports activities replaces kids playing sports and exercise ... you get the gist.  When just playing at spirituality without reality of the power of God to save and keep saved in the pure gospel, this is Horton's concern and it is a valid and well presented one.This book demands and deserves to have a wide reading and prayerful consideration.  May it bring many to heed its wisdom and gospel based encouragement.  One of the most significant books published in sometime.

    Easy to digest study into real Christian doctrine
  

*by R***J on Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2017*

One of the best books you'll ever find on real Christian doctrine without all the trendy feeling-based gobbledygook. A deep study that is easy to understand and will make you feel good because it expands your understanding of God's word which anchors your faith. thought provoking and real-life applicable. This is one of my favorite books. I can't recommend it enough.

    Excellent Treatment of Key Issues in the Evangelical Church
  

*by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2010*

Michael Horton tells the church that it has good news to share in the midst of a bad news world.  In the first half of the book, Horton defines this good news, the gospel of Christ, in a classical Reformed way, focusing on justification by faith alone through the righteousness of Christ.  As Horton says on page 80,  "The gospel is not a general belief in heaven and hell or hope for a better life beyond; it is not even confidence in a resurrection at the end of the age.  It is the announcement that Jesus Christ himself is our life, for he is our peace with God.  He does not merely show us the way; he is the way, the truth and the life (John 14:6)."This gospel-centeredness permeates the whole book, leaving other pursuits, whether purpose or prosperity or therapeutic moralism, open to criticism.  Horton does point to the shortcomings of such approaches but this book is less a critique than a call for the church to return to the gospel as the focus of its life.
