Easy Chairs, Hard Words: Conversations on the Liberty of God (Douglas Wilson)
$9.75$12.00
“Therefore He has mercy on whom He wills, and whom He wills He hardens. You will say to me then, ‘Why still find fault, For who resisted His will?’ But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God?” (Romans 9:18-20a).
Easy Chairs, Hard Words offers an honest look at many such difficult passages in Scripture. Presented as a series of fictional conversations between a curious young Christian and a seasoned pastor, these dialogues speak with clarity to those new to the Reformed faith.
They begin with the question, “Can salvation be lost?” and from there wrestle with other hard-to-swallow doctrines, including the freedom of the will, election, and original sin. Hard words, and yet the understanding given these passages is thoughtful and gentle. For our God—the God of hard words—is a merciful and loving Father, slow to wrath and quick to pardon, a triune God who graciously rescues men from death and brings them into everlasting life.

Endorsement
“This is not an ordinary book on the sovereignty of God and the doctrines of grace. Wilson structures these twenty chapters around a series of conversations between an older Reformed pastor and a young man wondering if Christians can lose their salvation…. Wilson’s theology is solidly Calvinistic.”
— Justin Taylor, co-author of Open Theism and the Undermining of Biblical Christianity

Faith Seeking Assurance (Anthony Burgess)
$8.50It is not uncommon for professing Christians to question the genuineness of their faith. In seasons like this, they can wonder whether it is even possible to know for sure if they are in a state of saving grace.
