The very first sentence of Comprehending the Decretive Will of God

“God’s decretive will is sometimes described as the sovereign, efficacious will”

I had to look up both decretive (spell check doesn’t recognize it either) and the word to describe decretive, efficacious.

Now this tells me a lot about the author. He is trying to impress his readers with his vast vocabulary and knowledge. I’m sure Jesus didn’t speak to sinners in this manner. No, Jesus was humility.

The second thing it tells me is not to bother reading past the first sentence. So I didn’t.
