Summary
This work is a book (11 Chapters) by Calvinist-Reformed John Bunyan. The truth about Calvinism is that they do not believe God gives every person the same opportunity to repent and be saved, but that some are elected to heaven (they cannot resist this), and the logic counterpart is that then the rest are elected to hell without opportunity to ever be saved. This is called Reprobation. While most smart Calvinists do not publicize this doctrine of Calvinism much, they do believe in it. This is Bunyan’s presentation of reprobation.
Evaluation by David Cox
Bunyan is an Anglican and Calvinist-Reformed, so those warnings would apply to this work. This is a book which has the heart of Calvinism at its core, and it is very strongly argued that God determines unilaterally some people going to hell without anything they could ever do to change that. I personally do not hold to this position, and I do not think most good Christian people would (the majority of Calvinists even have problem with this conclusion). The many appeals by God to look, repent, believe, and be saved would be hollow and sadistic if this doctrine was true.
I would not recommend this work for most people, only those studying the errors of Calvinism.

pc06 Suicide or something worse? We look at the causes of depression leading into suicide, and help from God and the Bible.
Excerpts: In Mark 5.2-5 there is a demon possessed person who day and night “cut himself with rocks.” In Matthew 17:15 we also see another demon working which seeks to force the person to commit suicide. The desire to harm yourself is a force of darkness, not from God. But the solution then is only found in God, in His love for you, and in His salvation. We should cast our cares upon Him, “for he careth for you” (1 Peter 5:7). By building a strong relationship with God we can get out of our problems. God will also give us strength and endurance through our problems. The only place of true happiness and joy is when one is in the will of God.
