In this short book Iain Murray details C.H. Spurgeon's lifelong battle with hyper-Calvinism. Murray does an excellent job of showing the differences between historic Calvinism and the strict systematic Calvinism that has done so much damage to the Church. This book is a powerful corrective to the excesses of Reformed theology. Here you will find a resounding call to sincere, earnest and (thoroughly) Biblical gospel preaching. If you are confused by the doctrines of grace or you find yourself troubled by the logical conclusions being drawn by some Calvinists read this book! I found it to be an unexpected blessing and a reminder of my own duties as a minister of the (whole) gospel. ( )

Murray has been such a blessing to God's Church. Here, he accomplishes nothing short of greatness as he sets Spurgeon in right context in view of his Calvinistic theology and the antagonism of his contemporaries. ( )
