Book Review: Compel Them to Come In
Compel Them to Come in: Calvinism and the Free Offer of the Gospel by Donald MacLeod
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
MacLeod’s new work echoes much of what is said in Murray’s much-shorter work, albeit in a more readable format. It has an interesting structure, addressing divine sincerity in the middle of the book rather than at the beginning. This was an odd choice, but it is my only criticism. Positively, there are numerous insights woven throughout the book that make this a go-to for preachers, evangelists, and lay evangelists. It certainly has me redoing/updating my evangelism training class!

Book Review: The Free Offer of the Gospel
The Free Offer of the Gospel by John Murray
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a 3$ book that is worth the read. It is a brief and analytical study of passages relating to God’s will of desire (as opposed to His will of decree). My takeaway: God’s express and universal desire is that all human beings repent of their sins and believe on His Son, which is expressed in His generosity towards even the wicked who will never repent. Yet, according to His mysterious and secret will, He has not chosen for all people to repent of their sins and believe on His Son. The gospel is offered according to God’s will of desire—that He genuinely desires their salvation.
