    Yes, Trav.
    His Book No Place for Sovereignty: What's Wrong with Freewill Theism is a modern classic, imo.
    Though I do not share his view on women in the ministry, his understanding of reformed theology is exemplary. I very highly recommend this book. It lead me to a more consistent view of the doctrines of grace.

cannot enter into, is, that of the two natures in a believer. And yet, though
every child of God must in all ages have been experimentally acquainted with
the inward conflict between flesh and spirit, nature and grace; and though
authors innumerable have written on such subjects as sanctification, the trial
of faith, the
