THE FIRST CALVINIST

You can eat, and you won't Die!

What if the most dangerous doctrine in the modern church is not new—but the **oldest lie ever told**?

In **THE FIRST CALVINIST**, Dr. Michael H. Yeager exposes a direct line from the Garden of Eden to today’s pulpits, revealing how the serpent’s words—*“Ye shall not surely die”*—have been repackaged as theology that promises salvation without repentance and grace without obedience.

Drawing on Scripture and over fifty years of ministry, Yeager shows how doctrines that remove accountability mirror the first deception, dull the fear of the Lord, and weaken Christ’s lordship in believers’ lives. This is not an academic argument—it is a biblical warning rooted in the words of Jesus and the apostles.

This book confronts:

* The lie of disobedience without consequence
* A gospel that excuses what the blood of Jesus was meant to cleanse
* How removing the fear of God leads to spiritual deception

Clear, urgent, and uncompromising, **THE FIRST CALVINIST** calls readers back to the Gospel as Jesus preached it—**with both the goodness and the severity of God**.

If the serpent were preaching today, his message would be the same:

“You can eat…
and you won’t die.”

This book exposes that lie—and points the way back to truth.
