Set Free!: What the Bible Says about Grace (What the Bible Says About Series) Hardcover – September 12, 2023

I recommend this book if you want to understand God’s grace on a deeper level.

Cottrell does a great job of cohesively putting all the Scriptures together which speak of God's sovereignty and providence. He takes what God says about Himself seriously and uses a common-sense approach toward interpretation. The book has been tremendously helpful for me and I plan to steal some of the material to use in my teaching.

This is an excellent resource for those trying to understand grace and the teachings of the Bible. It adopts a balanced approach and attempts to unite rather than divide.

Excellent product. I think to get the rest of Cottrell trilogy. His writing is very soul.edifying and delighful.Thanks so much for offer this items.

Biblical and Doctrine secure commentary! Excellent resource!

This is my favorite work of Cottrell.It is basically his teaching notes on Romans 1-8.You need this in your library.

As promised

Jack Cottrell's book on soteriology (written from a refreshing, non-Calvinistic perspective) tackles such crucial topics as sovereignty, grace, faith, baptism, works, sin, law, atonement, heaven/hell, justification, election, predestination, regeneration, sanctification, and assurance. It's the best study I've ever read about why and how we must be saved. I'm surprised Amazon doesn't have more info about it; however, you can find more details at College Press (Joplin, MO). It's available and less expensive there.Update: February 17, 2024. Cottrell said this was his most important book. Even my Calvinist and Dispensational friends who diasagree with Cottrell say they learn new things from his writings. Cottrell discusses many topics related to grace in ways that are understandable to the average Christian (i.e., non-theologians). Cottrell discusses subjects most Christians have never been taught and few theologians have been willing to explain clearly. For example, Cottrell discusses: The Law System vs. The Grace System, law codes vs. The Grace System, the difference between the necessity of means in obeying God's instructions as Redeemer and the necessity of precept whereby creatures obey God the Creator's laws, the unfairness of The Grace System (don't worry, it's a good thing), the distinction between general works and works of law, how anyone who has ever been saved has been saved by grace, the nature of saving faith, baptism's place in the salvation process, the role of good works (obedience) in The Grace System; misunderstandings, false ideas, and alternatives to The Grace System; the double curse of sin (guilt before God and power over us) and the double cure to sin's effects (through justification and sanctification), how Zwingli messed things up, Luther's thinking about faith and baptism, how the Calvinist paradigm (especially soteriology) is unbiblical, and original sin vs. original righteousness. If these topics seem overwhelming, don't worry, Cottrell explains things in a way that can be comprehended by rank-and-file Christians who are willing to read thoughtfully and carefully. A shorter version of this book is entitled: "Saved By Grace: The Essence of Christianity."
