I haven't read it, but I've heard his defense of his view on the radio.
There's nothing like setting aside good reformed theology when it doesn't
fit your sentimentality. :-)  The gist is regrettable, and entirely
Arminian: a loving God wouldn't send infants to hell.  The "age of
accountability" is an Arminian fabrication intended to defend a loving God.

Has anyone read John MacArthur's book on "infant salvation"? He exegetes
many passages of Scripture seeking to prove there is "instant heaven" for
every infant who dies before reaching the "age of accountability." The back
cover says, "John MacArthur offers truth from God's Word that puts the
doubts of any grieving parents to rest." Instant heaven for all infants "is
based on much more than mere sentimentality; it is revealed in the Word of
God . . ."
