Black is not suggesting that a genuine Christian can lose salvation at the end, but he is highlighting the danger of slipping away from the zeal that marked a good beginning. This book challenges the reader; it will convict; it will comfort and encourage. It will also warn about becoming complacent. Calum MacInnes, Retired Minister, Kingsview Christian Centre, Inverness
