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]

Pink examines the claims of Gods sovereignty that is, His total control of and authority over the entire cosmos. Is God really sovereign, and if so, what implications does that have on prayer, evangelism, and the notion of free will? Although brief, Pink addresses several topics and relies heavily on Scripture to show that his arguments have a solid foundation. The result is a high view of Gods sovereignty that both encourages and challenges readers perceptions.This was one of the earliest books in the Reformed theology thought that I read. It was very foundational in my early Reformed days, and still holds a high place in my mind when I think of great book. The Baler Publishing edition is preferred over the edited and chopped up Banner of Truth edition, because you get a more well rounded scope of sovereignty in all areas (the Banner of Truth edition - a baptist organization - cut out chapters and dealings with such things as reprobation, due to their
This book caused quite a controversy when it was first published and I suppose it still does. This book is a treasure to me as it opened a new view of God and His Word. It deals with one of the most vital aspects of the Godhood of God--sovereignty. Is God sovereign, is really asking, is He God? What does it mean for God to be God? Who is really in control? Who has supreme authority and power? I highly recommend it. Read along with your Bible and watch how the sovereign supremacy is seen
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 book will turn you into a Calvinist overnight!
Another book that the Lord used to show me His grace!
Solid classic read. Controversial issues about reprobation, yet renewing my understanding about the sovereignty of God Almighty.
