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 liberates from the tyranny of trying to please others, grace that empowers us to pursue authentic holiness. 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 stale scholasticizing and to declare anew the intoxicating joy of the gospel they proclaimed.  PROOF stands for planned grace, resurrecting grace, outrageous grace, overcoming grace, and forever grace. The authors offer proof of God's grace on which people can stand against the attacks of cheap grace and 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. PROOF is one of the most well-reasoned and heart-engaging presentations of the Reformed Faith I have read since becoming a Christian in 1968. Rooted in the history of theology, faithful to the text of Scripture, and accessible to a contemporary audience, these brothers throw the curtains wide open on the contours and grandeur of the gospel. -- Scotty Smith, Teacher-in-Residence, West End Community Church -- Scotty Smith In PROOF Daniel Montgomery and Timothy Paul Jones paint a multifaceted picture of grace that is refreshing to the soul, edifying to the church, and magnetic to those who have experienced that grace first hand. --Ed Stetzer, President, LifeWay Research Don't let the title PROOF fool you: this is not a traditional book about apologetics. It is a book that works out how Christians themselves are the "proof" of God's grace. Instead of viewing robust biblical teaching as a deadening weight on vital Christian living, these two authors are busy finding freedom through the intoxicating joy of irresistible grace (as the subtitle puts it). The detailed endnotes will satisfy more intellectual readers, but the rest of the book will prove a great help to the rest of us who want to learn in experience how some of the central truths of the gospel transform not only our thinking but our lives. --D. A. Carson, Research Professor, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School PROOF is one of the most well-reasoned and heart-engaging presentations of the Reformed faith I have read since becoming a Christian in 1968. Rooted in the history of theology, faithful to the text of Scripture, and accessible to a contemporary audience, these brothers throw the curtains wide open on the contours and grandeur of the gospel. --Scotty Smith, Teacher-in-Residence, West End Community Church PROOF is biblical, forceful, winsome, and clear about who God is, how God works, and what God wants. Daniel and Timothy have given us a treasure! --Darrin Patrick, Pastor, The Journey A book on the doctrines of grace that delights as much as it challenges? That exhilarates as much as it informs? That entertains as it enlightens? Be still my beating heart. ... PROOF is a rare breed indeed. Get it, savor it, let it bowl you over with the spectacular grace of God. --Jared Wilson, author of The Storytelling God This book demonstrates a wealth of reflection on both modern and ancient sources, helping us re-discover the scandal of the gospel. --J.D. Greear, author of Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart Daniel and Timothy will take you on a journey of grace in a way that you've never lived it before! --Gregg R. Allison, Professor of Christian Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary By unpacking the doctrines of grace in a fresh way, PROOF gives to the twenty-first century Christians a potent and powerful summary of what God has done for sinners. --Phillip Holmes, Vice President, Reformed African-American Network PROOF is a fresh, new approach to the historical doctrines of grace. It will refresh and encourage the veteran learner and provide substance without the complicated jargon for the novice. --Trillia Newbell, author of United: Captured by God's Vision for Diversity. Sadly, the doctrines of grace have often been used to score theological points. But PROOF shows how grace changes lives and brings joy. --Tim Chester, Associate Director, Porterbrook Seminary At the end of PROOF you will walk away with a comprehensive knowledge of grace, and even more importantly, with a heart of worship for the Grace-Giver. --Flame, Grammy-nominated hip-hop artist, ClearSightMusic.com Modern believers, who often unknow
