I am glad you enjoyed you Calving readings. Actually do you know that here in France, Calvinist do not know "Tulip" Actually first time I heard of it was a year ago when a reformed brother from the US asked me in order to make sure he was in tha right church . Do you know the Five points of Calvin? I answered: Five? he had 5 points?
Perhaps because we read Calvin in French we do not reduce him to five points. And something else we do not call it "limited atonemnt" but "redemption particulier" besides he never used this term in itself. His theology was a theology of "the Grace" and indeed he believed in predestination. How else you understand Rom 8:28-39. Yet he never preached predestination and he only dedicated one chapter to this (A main one, true). It is unfair to remember Calvin as the Theologian of predestination. He is rather the theologian of the Irresistible Grace.
If you take your time to read the English versions of the different reformed churchs in France, you will find we do not really bother with Calvin predestination as our English brothers.

How curious. You, a Methodist, share a birthday with John Calvin. I, a Presbyterian (well, originally), share a birthday with John Wesley.

Anyway, I am following the readings from Princetown (well, for now - already 2 days behind), but I think I will also follow the Calvin and Hobbes blog.

I used to have most of their books, but then gave them to a charity shop and slightly wish I hadn't.
