It covers the chapters of Free Will and Grace, The Will's Need for Grace, Grace is Ready but Does Not Force, The Grace of Change, He Does Not Submit Us to a Rejected Mind Unless We Will It, Free Will and Choice, Free Will and the Potter's Analogy, Free Will and Harsh Circumstances, Why Do You Fear Satan, Why Do You Fear Injustice, Why Do You Fear Sickness, Why Do You Fear People's Praise or Blame, Does Poverty Harm You, Do Trials Harm You, Does Martyrdom Harm You, Why Do You Fear Death, and Our Respect for Free Will. Christians are forbidden from correcting sinners by force but rather through persuasion because God crowns those by their own choice.
