"Every book Don Whitney writes is worth the cover price. How Can I Be Sure I'm a Christian? is doubly so. Christians struggling with assurance of their salvation should buy and read this book. Pastors should buy a box of them to give to doubting church members." --Jason K. Allen, president of Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
"If you have questions about your assurance or even somebody else's, you should read this book. Dr. Whitney's illustrations are superb, and his borrowings from the great theologians of the past are wise, stimulating, and well chosen. I commend his work highly." --James M. Boice, author of Foundations of the Christian Faith
