About the author

John Benton studied at the University of Sussex, where he earned a science doctorate. He serves as co-pastor in Guildford, Surrey at the Chertsey Street Baptist Church, and also works as the managing editor of Evangelicals Now, a monthly newspaper. He has co-authored multiple books with his wife, Ann. J. Benton books include Coming to Faith in Christ, written for people who are just considering the Christian faith. This book is written in a straightforward style, containing relevant Bible references for readers to explore further, and is really a booklet-style tract. Evangelistic Calvinism explores each of the five points of Calvinism, comparing each of these doctrines of grace to five beautiful diamonds through which the glories of Jesus can shine. This is also a booklet-style tract. In God’s Riches, Benton has created an introductory workbook to Christian doctrine, helping Christians to systematically study to grow their faith.

Reviews

[Daniel Gonzalez · Rating 5 out of 5]

This booklet explains the gospel, commonly asked questions about God and salvation, and what to do next. Very short (only 18 pages) and basic but it’s a great bridge to start gospel conversations or invite somebody to church. It has Scripture references in the footnotes.

[C · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good, easy-to-understand evangelistic pamphlet. Walks through basics of the Gospel in question and answer format. Provides proof texts.

[Wade · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a decent little book outlining what it means to become a Christian. It is good that it’s not some step-by-step formula, but more of outlining God and how He deals with people and how we come to know Him.
