Synopsis

It’s time to open your eyes to the freeing power of authentic grace—grace that releases us from trying to earn God's favor, grace that enables us to rest in the finished work of Christ, grace that liberates from the tyranny of trying to please others. That's what the theology of Martin Luther and John Calvin did in their own day for the people around them. Time magazine recently dubbed Calvinism as one of the top ten ideas changing the world right now. And yet most of these discussions center on the issue of predestination or on whether particular people agree with the five points of Calvinism. Daniel Montgomery and Timothy Paul Jones think it's time to rescue the theology of the Reformers from such stale scholasticizing and to declare anew the dangerous and intoxicating joy of the gospel that theyproclaimed.  PROOF stands for planned grace, resurrecting grace, outrageous grace, overcoming grace, and forever grace. The authors offer proof of God’s grace upon which people can stand against  the attacks of legalism that have led many of God's people to lose sight of the freedom and joy of the gospel.  And this proof is intoxicating—it’s like a 200-proof drink that will leave you spiritually staggering at its effect on your life. God’s grace not only declares us “not guilty!” in his presence, it changes our relationship with God—forever.?

Goodreads review by Drew on June 27, 2015

We often hear about God's grace but rarely take the time to meditate on exactly what it looks like. In this book, the authors did a great job in laying out just how God's grace plays out in the predestination, justification, sanctification, perseverance, and glorification of believers. I found their......more

Goodreads review by Joe on June 24, 2016

My review on Proof is mixed so I will divide my response accordingly to present why... The Good: Proof is a modern day primer for the doctrinal position of God's Grace from more of a "reformed perspective". It uses the acronym of Proof to lay out the design of the topic. The acronym is: -Planned Grace -......more

Goodreads review by Kay on September 30, 2015

This book is a brain buster and certainly not at all for the faint of heart. Proof is aimed at intellectuals, philosophers, theologians, non-believers, Armenians, and anyone who wants to know more about God’s grace through salvation and calvinism. It's a very challenging book to read if you aren’t a......more

Goodreads review by Roger on April 16, 2014

This book was a little different that I expected. Full of life and zeal, there is an excitement about who God is and what he does. God is in control! Because God is sovereign we can marvel at who He is. Here, Montgomery and Jones, show us the wonder of a sovereign God. If God is in control, we have n......more
