J. I. Packer
IVP Books, 2012
122 pages
Evangelism and the Sovereignty of God is a concise, yet powerful exploration of how the truth that God is in control relates to the responsibility that we have as Christians to share the gospel. J. I. Packer excels at explaining difficult concepts in a way that is easy to understand, logically sound, and biblically supported. Ever wondered how a sovereign God can hold humans responsible for their actions? Interested in learning about what evangelism truly entails? Want a careful example of how to handle theological debate? You will be hard pressed to find a more helpful resource. My hope is that this book will not only help many of you think more deeply about divine realities, but also challenge you to go out and proclaim the majesties of our sovereign God!
