Early Reader Reviews
“I couldn’t put it down. Several times I laughed out loud. One time I actually got mad at a character. That’s not like me.”
—Roger Schiele, San Antonio, Texas
“One of the ten best books that I’ve read. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Exciting, engaging, innovative, inspirational, and informative, all at once.”
—Jim Haesemeyer, Lubbock, Texas
“A ‘novel’ and fascinating approach to a difficult topic. Compelling and easy to read, this book challenges the reader to examine in a non-superficial way what the Bible teaches about the controversial topics of predestination and election.”
—George Sturm, Pogradec, Albania
“The evening I started, I couldn’t stop reading until three in the morning. The way the author presented God, His grace and love to sinners, and His plans
and blessings for those in Christ, moved me to worship. I kept having to wipe tears away as I read. I feel as excited and enlightened as Alex when he discovered the truth.”
—Emily R. Knott, Madrid, Spain
“What a great way to discuss a difficult issue like predestination, which usually reminds me of working out at a mental bench press. The characters were like people I’ve known. The conversations were like ones I’ve had at church or after a Bible study.”
—Francisco Ramirez, Minneapolis, Minnesota
“This book challenged my thinking, hooking me into a well written story while carefully dissecting the Calvinist-Arminian debate. Compelling.”
—Chris Schroeder, Mt. Clemens, Michigan
“My wife and I have worked with college students for the last ten years. They’re always asking about Calvinism. We had almost given up on the possibility of a solid, scriptural response. This book—which I finished in one day—renewed our hope that this topic isn’t beyond our grasp after all.”
—Brady Collier, Wolfforth, Texas
“Engaging. Reminded me of my college days. Though I do not agree with all of James McCarthy's theological conclusions, John Calvin Goes to Berkeley is a good portrayal of what happens when young Christians are committed to living for Christ and sharing the gospel with their fellow students.”
—Jeff Brown, Nuremberg, Germany
