I could hardly contain my excitement when he agreed and there is no question that his contribution was a major factor in the success of my first book.

By employing the classical formulation of the two natures of Christ (‘distinct but not separate’), Dr. Horton provides readers with a key to help unlock Calvin’s teaching. But more than that, he shows why the Genevan Reformer’s vision of the Christian life remains unsurpassed.

We see his role as a child, husband, parent, pastor, mentor, and educator—with pungent thoughts on conversion, prayer, the Bible, revival, evangelism, and other vital topics.

Creeds are also peculiar in that we receive them and find our meaning in their confession. Trueman laments that too many today believe inner feelings determine outward identity.

Jesus Christ formed in our hearts is the essence of Christianity. True faith unites us with Christ. This union is between a lost, ruined, penitent sinner and a merciful, complete, and willing Savior. When this precious Savior is united with a sinner, there will be a warm and intimate bond between them that produces the fruits of new life in Christ. How this true faith differs from a self-made and nominal faith in which the brokenness of heart and the knowledge of our misery is lacking! Comrie demonstrates that true faith has explicit distinguishing marks that serve to encourage struggling Christians and expose the empty, superfluous faith of our day.

Standing on the shoulders of these giants, Saxton teaches us how to meditate on divine truth and gives valuable guidance about how to rightly pattern our thinking throughout the day.
