A wonderfully concise, easy-to-read book on the doctrines of grace. A truly foundational beginner's book on theology. Highly recommended. (

This is a good entry-level layman’s introduction to Reformed theology. Horton’s book is very ‘reader friendly’. Horton examines such basic Reformed positions as the 5-points of Calvinism, the effect of the fall upon man, and free will. Horton also explains the Reformed views of baptism and the Lord’s Supper. One drawback is that Horton does not really examine covenant theology in this book, and I have discovered that covenant theology is an important part of Reformed thought. (

This is a good introduction to Reformed Theology and what the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) believes. It discusses in details TULIP - Total depravity, Unconditional love, Limited atonement, Irresistible grace, and Perseverance of the saints. (

What does it mean to be "saved by grace"? Many believers are confused and intimidated by the doctrine of salvation, and as a result are missing out on the freedom of God's grace. Michael Horton reminds us of the Reformation's radical view of God and his saving grace, the liberating yet humbling truth that we contribute nothing to our salvation. Putting Amazing Back into Grace clearly lays out the Scriptural basis for this important doctrine and the implications of this message for a vibrant evangelical faith. Horton's accessible treatment of who does what in salvation will inspire a fresh amazement at God¹s grace.
