Beyond the Bounds: Open Theism and the Undermining of Biblical Christianity - John Piper (Editor), Justin Taylor (Editor), Paul Kjoss Helseth (Editor)
Open theism--denying God's knowledge of the future--is an attempt to change the way Christians think about God and is a growing challenge to orthodox belief. In this book, twelve pastors and teachers explain why the God of open theism is not the God of biblical Christianity. They probe the biblical, historical, and philosophical context, language, and interpretation of the debate, giving readers an understanding of what is at stake when exhaustive divine foreknowledge is denied.

The Doctrines of Grace: Rediscovering the Evangelical Gospel - Philip Graham Ryken, James Montgomery Boice
In an age of weak theology and casual Christianity--when we have substituted intuition for truth, feeling for belief and immediate gratification for enduring hope--the church desperately needs to return to the doctrines of grace that shook the world during the Reformation. As authors James Boice and Philip Ryken compellingly consider the current challenges, they leave no doubt that the church suffers when these foundational truths are neglected.
