Writings on salvation-assurance are usually short devotionals or sermonic developments. The Christian public wants and deserves more than that. What about in-depth, full range discussions of all positions? Why hasn't that been considered and attempted? Sure Enough remedies that problem. It is a highly readable, fascinating, factual, historical survey of vital issues related to how one knows one has a saving relationship with God. It traces views from the philosophical far left to the theological far right. While Holy Scripture is taken as our prime source book on all theological questions, church history, Christian biography, and denominational creeds provide examples and instances of how the Scriptures have been interpreted on certitude of salvation. Sure Enough's uniqueness is it's focus on a history of the doctrine of salvation assurance across a variety of traditions. Cursory references to only one tradition leaves the Christian reader poorly informed. Sure Enough fills the void of books that mute or omit contributions from divergent traditions. In addition, ideas on Salvation-Assurance need a connection with historic/human faces. people as well as principles, movements as well as theories. Although historical in approach, the book is devotional in impact. It stimulates thinking, stretches the mind, and expands one's adoration of God. Warren Wiersbe said: There is a need for this book. Most of the 'assurance' and 'perseverance' literature these days lacks the historical context Sure Enough provides and ends up either avoiding the problems or proof-texting itself into simplistic pop theology. I like the balance it sustains, plus the irenic spirit. Dr. John Gilmore leads Seminars for Curious Christians on the subjects of his 7 books. (Write for brochures.) He is Academic Dean and Adj.

COLD-BLOODED is the classic account of the murder of three young girls by Charles Schmid, Jr., teen-age idol of the lower depths of Tucson, Arizona in the Hot-Rodder mid-60s-a lost city surrounded by a bone-dry ocean of rocky deserts. Lover to many scrawny, broken girls, Schmid a champion gymnast-turned-half-baked philosopher and ultimately a lonely boy disguising an emptiness so vast that he sought to fill it by seeing how far he could go. "Racing through life at a million miles an hour," he wrote, Schmid claimed he sought the thrill of "Death's closeness" and finally reaching for the thrill of "that ultimate experience." COLD-BLOODED gives the reader a step-by-step account of the series of events which led Schmid to "killing for the thrill of it," from finding out what he always suspected, but dreaded-that he was nothing but an orphan, unwanted by his real mother the day he was born-to his strange, chaotic relation with a girl he described as being a "wreck, looking for it to happen," which led to his final killings. A high-profile murder case at the time, Schmid's trial became a launching pad for superstar defense attorney F. Lee Bailey and a sick inspiration to still-incarcerated Charles Manson. Drawn from author John Gilmore's first-hand encounters, COLD-BLOODED contains a wealth of information on Schmid, including extensive interviews describing the way his view of the world, and interviews with his teenage hangers-on, who describe at length what a larger-than-life phenomenon "Smitty" became for them. This is an intimate portrait of the seething, desperate-for-action teenage scene of the mid-1960's, through a focus on Schmid who pushed everything further that his contemporaries, allowing us to see the pitiful and frightening aspects of these aberrant, chronic runaway children, heirs to an empty culture and a rootless society.
