Thought provoking and very well laid out。 Thoroughly recommended。

Gareth Davies

This book may be nearly 100 years old but it as still as relevant today。 Thought provoking and worship inducing look at the sovereignty of God。

Burk

Indispensible。

Magdalena Roeseler

Der Author kann nicht ernst genommen werden, da er nur die Zitate bzw。 die Teile davon benutzt, die zu r seiner These passen。 Zur Anfang fand ich seine Ausführungen noch interessant, als ich aber die Zitate herausgesucht und umfassend gelesen habe, musste ich feststellen, dass Pinks Auslegung nicht korrekt sein kann。 Er konnte mich nicht überzeugen。

I Have studying PINK since ,1982 He is the best because of the Way he explains every point and backing it up with Scriptures! This book is very Thick so you will not finish it in one day unless you are a speed reader which is no good when you are studying a piece of God's Attributes。 God Bless each one of you and stick with Pink he is The Most Intelligent of all the Authors when it comes to the Holy Bible!

Deep dive into a delightful doctrine。 Tremendous peace and security are to be found in the sovereignty of God。 Simon Vance needs to stop reading theological books。

Justin Blackwood

An excellent study

This is a great book。 Thorough and encouraging。 Very thought provoking。 I had to really slow down and think things through。 Yes, it really did take me four years to read it。 I stopped a few times and read many parts over and over again。

Charles Adkinson

So nice I read it twice。 I cannot speak highly enough of this book。 You can get a free copy from chapellibrary。org。 Pink is a master。

This is not a book for the theologically faint of heart。 It contains what many of us know about Calvinism, and then expounds on it to an overwhelming degree。 I thought this book would help me answer, or better grasp, one or two implications about God with which I've been struggling, but the way Pink poses and answers those implications (though according to him they're Scripturally supported) left me with more questions, a feeling of despondency that I'd ever understand anything, and a renewed un This is not a book for the theologically faint of heart。 It contains what many of us know about Calvinism, and then expounds on it to an overwhelming degree。 I thought this book would help me answer, or better grasp, one or two implications about God with which I've been struggling, but the way Pink poses and answers those implications (though according to him they're Scripturally supported) left me with more questions, a feeling of despondency that I'd ever understand anything, and a renewed unsettlement about my own membership in the Elect, which may be his point, in part。 As he repeats a few times, the purpose of preaching the Gospel is to awaken a human's sense of helplessness in the face of their wretchedness, and forthwith beg God for mercy。 (Hopefully I summed that up right。) 。。。more

Seperti Calvinis lainnya, AW Pink membangun teologinya dengan terlebih dahulu membangun human-made theories。 Dia menyebutnya "Alkitabiah", but in fact, not at all。 Calvinis harus belajar jujur dalam berargumentasi。 Seperti Calvinis lainnya, AW Pink membangun teologinya dengan terlebih dahulu membangun human-made theories。 Dia menyebutnya "Alkitabiah", but in fact, not at all。 Calvinis harus belajar jujur dalam berargumentasi。 。。。more

Written over 100 years ago, this classic still holds great value。 The sovereignty of God is a generational problem, that is to say that every generation will continue to wrestle with this truth because we naturally want to deny it。 As Pink notes in this work, God's sovereignty runs directly into man's autonomy and only one walks away unscathed。 Just as a child why cries for his mother may believe that he is calling the shots, so too is the man who believes that God's will is subservient to his o Written over 100 years ago, this classic still holds great value。 The sovereignty of God is a generational problem, that is to say that every generation will continue to wrestle with this truth because we naturally want to deny it。 As Pink notes in this work, God's sovereignty runs directly into man's autonomy and only one walks away unscathed。 Just as a child why cries for his mother may believe that he is calling the shots, so too is the man who believes that God's will is subservient to his own。The sovereignty of God rests (quite comfortably) in the text of Scripture first and foremost。 There are some doctrines that are brought to scripture by good and necessary consequence, and there are doctrines that simply spill out of the pages of scripture because they are so clearly taught therein。 The sovereignty of God is one of those。 Although we may think of the sovereignty of God as a work that brings about salvation in man, it is much more than that。 When we speak of the sovereignty of God, we mean that all of creation is in direct submission to him and furthermore, dependent on Him for their life and being。 Pink does a swell job laying this out on the table like a box of puzzle pieces and allows us to observe him putting the pieces together。 One thing that is particularly helpful is his willingness to point out common mistakes, misconceptions, and even critiques of God's sovereignty。 We don't believe in God's sovereignty because we are bored or contrarians。 Rather, we believe that scripture presents a God who rules and reigns all things, who's works can not be matched, and who does not need the approval or permission of any other created being in order to move or act。 The sovereignty of God leads us into other areas of doctrine, namely the so-called Calvinist view。 If God is sovereign in all things, which he is, then he is sovereign in our salvation as well。 This has intensely practical applications。 I remember growing up and after committing some sin, immediately thinking if I didn't repent of that sin then and there, I would lose my salvation。 While ongoing repentance is needed for progressive sanctification, we are not on some fluid balance scale where we move from saved to unsaved based on our actions throughout the day。 God's grace is not weighted by volume。There's more to say here, but Pink says it best。 And so I commend this book to you if you are looking for a good overview of the doctrine of God's sovereignty。 。。。more

Pretty good book。 I think the more I read about the sovereignty of God, the more I was reminded that there are so many dual truths that I will never fully understand, such as Gods sovereignty and human free will etc。 What I need to do is continue to come back to what I know to be true about God。 He is just, loving, all powerful, all knowing and so much more。 So I can know that these truths will also line up with his sovereignty。 Even though I will never fully know and understand everything about Pretty good book。 I think the more I read about the sovereignty of God, the more I was reminded that there are so many dual truths that I will never fully understand, such as Gods sovereignty and human free will etc。 What I need to do is continue to come back to what I know to be true about God。 He is just, loving, all powerful, all knowing and so much more。 So I can know that these truths will also line up with his sovereignty。 Even though I will never fully know and understand everything about his sovereignty, I can still know that he is a good and perfect God! 。。。more

Understanding the sovereignty of God is the single foundation of peace in the heart of the believer。 There is no anxiety or fear when we know God has planned and orchestrated all things for His glory, and we can joy in knowing no suffering or pain will not be repaid in full。

Darlene Webster

This book is WONDERFUL! So inspirational! I’ll write more later when I’ve finished。 No wonder this book has survived since the late 1800’s。 It is such truth。

Ryan Burnett

Great book, easy to read and understand。 Recommended for beginners。

Chris Logan

This was one of the most amazing Christian books I have ever read。 Pink is surgical in his exegesis of Scripture to prove both the complete and absolute sovereignty of God and the responsibility of Man。 Pink gives ample Scriptural backing to evidence his adamant stance on God’s complete rule。 I don’t see how anyone could walk away from this book and not know or confess that God is absolutely Sovereign over all His creation。 If they do, my conclusion is they have been blinded or so proud and obst This was one of the most amazing Christian books I have ever read。 Pink is surgical in his exegesis of Scripture to prove both the complete and absolute sovereignty of God and the responsibility of Man。 Pink gives ample Scriptural backing to evidence his adamant stance on God’s complete rule。 I don’t see how anyone could walk away from this book and not know or confess that God is absolutely Sovereign over all His creation。 If they do, my conclusion is they have been blinded or so proud and obstinate of heart that they refuse to bow their will and knee to God’s obvious rule。 。。。more

At first I gave it 4 stars, but a few days after finishing it I believe it warrants 5。 Clear arguments & scriptural references。 I thought it was repetitive, but Pink uses many examples to repeat and illustrate how God’s sovereignty is revealed in Scripture。

John Ochtyun

What a classic and a must read! He does a wonderful job illustrating Biblical truths and always points to Gods Word。 In my opinion authors like this are the best when they anticipate the questions ahead of time and answer them thoughtfully。

Rachel Vacco

This is a book I will place firmly on my top 10 life changing books list。 While not agreeing 100% with all of Pinks conviction and interpretations, his lofty view of God and His supremity was incredibly encouraging to me。 There is much comfort in knowing who holds your days。

Marcus Goncalves

This was a difficult book to read, not only due to when it was written (beginning of last century), and the old Bible translation, but also the subject。 It took me a year! But this book is a classic commentary of the Sovereignty of God, His most significant attribute concerning us。。。GRACE, which we must understand and appreciate。 Pink only expounds on Scripture to fully explain Sovereignty。

Élizabeth

J’avais peut-être de trop grandes attentes de ce classique。 Ses vérités sont importantes mais la plume de M。 Pink n’était pas à mon goût。 Peut-être est-ce le genre de livre qui s’améliore à la deuxième lecture?

Nick Prodromou

Phenomenal。Don't shy away from the dreaded logically consistent calvinism presented here, this is the truth。 This isn't hyper calvinism, it's just calvinism。 Phenomenal。Don't shy away from the dreaded logically consistent calvinism presented here, this is the truth。 This isn't hyper calvinism, it's just calvinism。 。。。more

Lots of comforting theology in here。 Lots of challenging theology as well。

A classic treatment on the absolute sovereignty of God。 Pink is a great writer and commits himself to examining the biblical revelation of every aspect of the sovereignty of God in the administration of His creation and all it contains。 I found him to be faithfully scriptural and staunchly assertive in trying to impress upon his readers the paramount importance of this doctrine as well as, the attitude it should produce in all who reflect upon it, that being, one of humble adoration and unceasin A classic treatment on the absolute sovereignty of God。 Pink is a great writer and commits himself to examining the biblical revelation of every aspect of the sovereignty of God in the administration of His creation and all it contains。 I found him to be faithfully scriptural and staunchly assertive in trying to impress upon his readers the paramount importance of this doctrine as well as, the attitude it should produce in all who reflect upon it, that being, one of humble adoration and unceasing praise。 In addition, I often found him to be very pastorally warm and sensitive in many places。 Overall, an edifying read which I heartily recommend。“And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth。”— Rev。 19:6 。。。more
