Book Review - No One...

noone.gifIn an uncertain world, there are at least six things we can always count on. These six are the focus of J.D. Wetterling's new book, No One.... Quoting Jesus' words from the book of John we know that:

  • No One can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.
  • No One can come to me unless the Father Who sent me draws him.
  • No One comes to the Father except through me.
  • No One takes it [life] from me, but I lay it down of my own accord.
  • No One can snatch them [true Christians] out of my hand.
  • No One will take away your joy.

These six "no one" statements form the framework for the book. Each one receives thorough, Gospel-centered treatment. Each chapter concludes with the promise that "these are unshakable certainties in an uncertain world."

No One is the first book which has featured my endorsement on the back cover, and I consider this quite an honor. My endorsement reads as follows: "J.D. Wetterling has given us nothing less than the gospel in all its simplicity, beauty and glory. If this message is news to you, read this book and let God speak to your soul. If this is news you have heard a thousand times, allow yourself to hear it again, and let your faith be strengthened and renewed." It has also been endorsed by men such as Marvin Olasky, Bryan Chapell and Joey Pipa. Their opinion surely counts for far more than mine!

Well worth reading, I have little doubt that No One will challenge you and draw your gaze to the cross of Christ. I recommend it.

I'd like to check that out. I love Joe Pipa. He spoke at my church's winter seminar in January on the names of God. Brilliant.

Just a reminder... Challies has an Amazon wishlist at the bottom right of this blog. It's a a small yellow thing. Get him more books. He is a great book reviewer... obviously.

No... he won't post who bought him the book, so do not do it to get recognized. And I am not reminding you all about this to get brownie points. I'm just sincerely thankful for the Discerning Reader.

Thank you, Tim and commentors . Monergism Books has it in stock and the best price I've found ($8.39).http://www.monergismbooks.com/none1535.html

I don't know why the big online secular sellers take so long to get the info posted or Christian books in stock.

This looks great. It seems like a very interesting way to discuss some great topics.

J.D. Wetterling,I hope this is not inappropriate but, I think you are the father of a great Christian I know. If so, I just wanted tell you what a great influence and encouragement your daughter and her husband have been to my wife and I. Looks like you did a good job. If I am wrong on who you are....take as a compliment any way. :o)
