Ilustration Toward 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]

Commentary Based On Books The Sovereignty of God

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.

This is probably the best book I've read so far presenting high calvanist theology. Being not-Calvinist, it gave me a good understanding of why someone might be Calvinist, and I think this will help to illuminate future dialogue...

This book will turn you into a Calvinist overnight!

Another book that the Lord used to show me His grace!

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

Pink is nothing if not thorough and meticulous in his use and understanding of Scripture. He does a good job at going very in depth into breaking down how God is sovereign in general areas and explaining, along with Scriptural support, into what God's sovereignty in those areas means and how it can be proven. I was especially impressed by the appendix on John 3:16, as this verse was one of the many sticking points for me before I accepted Reformed tradition.On the down side, Pink can tend to be
