“Book Descriptions: A Journey in Grace is a book that seeks to teach theology in the setting of a fictional novel about Pastor Ira Pointer and his discovery of the doctrines of grace. The biblical doctrine taught by Dr. Belcher in this book is often referred to as Calvinism. A label the author prefers is "The Doctrines of Grace." This format is ideal for teenagers, young adults and perhaps those who are not that familiar with this biblical teaching. What Richard Belcher accomplishes with great success is to clearly instruct the reader on this often maligned doctrine. The reader is also exposed to what is thought to be Calvinism but, in reality, is a caricature of it. Another great value of this book is that there is a good deal of help in learning how to present what one believes in a gracious manner. A Journey in Grace is the first in a series that now totals 18 volumes, each one focusing on a specific biblical doctrine. The story begins with the main character, Ira Pointer, being interviewed for his initial pastorate. The interview seems to be going well until one of the men asks Ira with an abrasive spirit if he is a Calvinist. The journey thus begins with Ira trying to find out what a Calvinist is and then seeking to assess if he is one.” DRIVE
