Story
For 300 years, The Pilgrim's Progress has remained perhaps the best-loved and most read of devotional fictions. In plain yet powerful and moving language, Bunyan tells the story of Christian's struggle to attain salvation and the Gates of Heaven. He must pass through the Slough of Despond, ward off the temptations of Vanity Fair, and fight the monstrous Apollyon. In Part II, his wife and children follow the same path, helped and protected by Great-heart, until for them, too, "the trumpets sound on the other side."

Story
Institutes of the Christian Religion is John Calvin's seminal work on Protestant systematic theology. Highly influential in the Western world and still widely read by theological students today, it was published in Latin in 1536 and in his native French in 1541. The book serves as an introductory textbook on the Protestant faith for those with some previous knowledge of theology and covers a broad range of theological topics from the doctrines of church and sacraments to justification by faith alone and Christian liberty.

Story
Luther was not a pious bore. He was a real man and at times an earthy man who was brash and bold. In the political correct world of today, some might have trouble with him. He did not speak for sound bites. Through this audiobook, you will have an intimate look into his world and mind. There are things you will respect and things you will admire. This look will let Luther be Luther. This is considered Luther's finest work of thought. What do you think about the freedom of the human will?

Story
During Jesus' earthly ministry, one of the primary ways he would instruct his disciples was through parables. People would gather from far and wide in order to listen to what Jesus said about the kingdom of God, and the most common way he would explain the kingdom was in parables. But what does God want us to learn from these parables? In this series, Dr. R.C. Sproul examines several parables of Jesus, exploring the rich truths they reveal about who Jesus is and what he came to achieve through his life, death, and resurrection.

Story
This 1754 work by Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) is subtitled An Inquiry into the Modern Prevailing Notions of the Freedom of the Will Which Is Supposed to Be Essential to Moral Agency, Virtue and Vice, Reward and Punishment, Praise and Blame.

He contends that free will is an extension of, and connected to, the grace of God.

Story
Many people react negatively to the word theology, believing that it involves dry, fruitless arguments about minute points of doctrine. Yet as Dr. R.C. Sproul argues, everyone is a theologian. Any time we think about a teaching of the Bible and strive to understand it, we are engaging in theology. Therefore, it is important that we put the Bible's varied teachings together in a systematic fashion, using proper, time-tested methods of interpretation so as to arrive at a theology that is founded on truth.

Publisher's Summary
What does an individual contribute to his or her own salvation? Does God wait on the doorsteps of our hearts, quietly hoping to be let in when we decide to open the door? Or does he call us and pursue us in a way we can't resist? The debate between the irresistible call of God and a human being's free will has raged for centuries. So what is the answer? And why does it matter?
In Willing to Believe, R. C. Sproul uncovers issues that provoked the Reformation and revived the controversy between Pelagius and Augustine. He carefully explores the relationship between original sin and human free will, clarifies misconceptions about the work of God in a believer's liberation from sin, illuminates the work of the Holy Spirit in salvation, and offers compelling reasons to believe the work of salvation is in God's hands.

Filled with information
My sister and I were raised Baptist. Indeed our father was a Baptist pastor. But while reading through the New Testament my sister discovered that predestination and election were actually biblical. A family discussion ensued. My mother asked, what about Free Will. That led to me purchasing this book. I learned how Free Will has been treated in the history of the church. I found that Jonathan Edwards gave the most cogent explanation of how Free Will works. I was able to answer my mother’s question about what happened to Free Will. Two Thumbs way up for this book.

Clear Teaching in the reformed position
As I am a confessed devotee of RC his explanations of the reformed position are accessible if not complex. I think another listen and some careful thought is needed this does not detract from the material giving wise council and a detailed understanding of this vital subject that is at the heart of the Glory due to God so often confused and dare I say it missed.
