That would be good - I'd join in. I'm reading Brooks on Assurance at the minute!

I'll drop by again and see what you/this book says. I haven't read it myself and probably wouldn't as personally I think that there are some things (if not most things) in the Christian life that we have to work through ourselves with the help of God.And despite the best intentions of authors/advisors/counsellors sometimes their help isn't much use to us.And sometimes it is of immense value - it just depends on the individual as we're all different (just as well!!)
Reformedandbaptist, glad you're up for it, I look greatly forward to your input, appreciate it very much!
anonymous, fair enough point my friend & I totally agree that "despite the best intentions of authors/advisors/counsellors sometimes their help isn't much use to us.And sometimes it is of immense value - it just depends on the individual as we're all different".
As in most areas there's going to be great & there's going to be wick.
Patton's main answer to each of these things is Scripture, perhaps only a couple of verses for each, but promises from God that we may all cling to.
Personally I find myself with the Ethiopian eunuch who needed someone to draw alongside him & expound the scriptures to him.
So I am grateful for authors of not only commentaries & theological books but also of books that help to exhort us with biblical council.
Looking forward to it. I have occasionally considered the possibility that I am not saved at all, so a discussion on this matter would be very beneficial.
Yeh Tim. I think it is a discussion that is of huge benifit even for anyone who may not struggle that way.
We are told to examine ourselves so going through these may help strengthen our certainty that Christ's words 'It is finished' finished the work for us & its a done deal with no turning back!
