The author, who is sympathetic to the Calvary Chapel fellowship of evangelical churches, critiques two aspects of Calvary Chapel founder Chuck Smith's teaching. While the book pertains directly to the distinctives of Calvary Chapel, it should benefit anyone who believes that a pretribulational, premillenial understanding of the end times is "essential" Christian doctrine and that at least a portion of the so-called Five Points of Calvinism (TULIP) is unbiblical and unnecessarily divisive. Whether or not one agrees with all of its conclusions, the book should provide the reader with a deeper understanding of and appreciation for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
