Description During Books The Sovereignty of God
"The doctrine of God's Sovereignty lies at the very foundation of Christian theology. It is the centre of gravity in the system of Christian truth- the sun around which all the lesser orbs are grouped. It is the chord upon which all other doctrines are strung like so many pearls, holding them in place and giving them unity. It is the plumbline by which every creed needs to be measured and the balance in which every human dogma must be weighed. It produces gratitude in prosperity and patience in adversity. It is, and does all, and much more than we have said, because it ascribes to God- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit- the glory which is His due, and places the creature in His proper place before Him- in the dust... This doctrine of the sovereignty of God is glorious and edifying, and a due apprehension of it will but serve to make us exclaim with Moses, "who is like unto Thee, O Lord, among the gods?" (Ex. 15:11)" -The Sovereignty of God by A.W. Pink [p. 214, 227]Rating Regarding Books The Sovereignty of God

A true classic. Easily one of my new favorites.If you want to know what it means to say, 'God is sovereign', this is the book. There are others, yes, but Pink is as thorough and as biblical in his presentation of this part of systematic theology as can be found.I find it fascinating, in seeing/reading many negative critiques of Pink's work, that so many will call him a 'Hyper-Calvinist.' Clearly, they either misconstrue the term or flat out don't know what it means, except that anyone who believes God has unconditionally elected some to
First sentence: Who is regulating affairs on this earth today--God, or the Devil? That God reigns supreme in Heaven, is generally conceded; that He does so over this world, is almost universally denied--if not directly, then indirectly.If the average, modern-day Christian would dare to read Pink's The Sovereignty of God, then chances are they'd be shocked--shaken--by the contents. The stuff of which he writes--this "hard teaching" of the Bible is rarely the subject of preachers in the pulpit.
Until I read A.W. Pink's "Sovereignty of God" I would've laughed at the notion of a book on Christian doctrine being a "page-turner" or to elicit a feeling of "I can't put it down!" Yet, here I am emphatically endorsing what I expected to be a stuffy and dry treatise on Reformed Doctrine. Despite being written almost 90 years ago, Pink's handling of Scripture proved incredibly relevant to many of the struggles we continue to face in the 21st century. But, of greatest importance, the book
Good encouraging word. Some fundamental truths here!
This book made me furious--but that's not necessarily a bad thing, I guess. It is certainly a thought-provoking read, and a good exercise in devotion simply because I could not safely acquiesce to Pink's teachings without serious contemplation. Like the reviewer before me, I believe the idea that Jesus only died for the elect, and the contention that God does not love everyone He has made, to be heretical. It seems inconsistent and unlike Him for God to enjoin us, through Jesus, to live our
Another book that the Lord used to show me His grace!
