highly recommended

Arthur W. Pink Pink (d. 1953) is noted for his independent thinking. He was so well read, and had such a photographic memory, that he could give you the page and column in a host of reference works and commentaries. This book shocked the Christian world in 1919 when he first published it. He fiercely defends the sovereignty of God, and all the cognate doctrines such as the Doctrines of Grace. It is THE book to give to those just after conversion, and a prime book to give to anyone who defends the free will of man. Pink was a Baptist preacher who held pulpits in England, America, and Australia. His early training was in scientology. His conversion was instant, and complete dedication to the cause of God and truth quickly became evident. This early book by Pink lays Scripture end to end to prove God's control over all persons and events. It is uncompromising, and as such it raises the hackles on the necks of many new students of this doctrine. Persons who knew Pink seldom objected to anything he taught, because he could literally quote hundreds of verses of Scripture verbatim on the subject under discussion. This book may be overwhelming, but it is certain that its many printings have been used of God to convince people of His sovereignty. His doctrinal belief is that that God both elects and reprobates, as Romans 9:21-23 clearly teaches. It is an important stone to guide the steps of those who are not yet convinced of God's absolute sovereignty over all persons and events.

Magnificent!!! Reminds us of who's in control!!!

Read everything you can by Arthur W. Pink!! Along with A.W. Tozer and G. Campbell Morgan, they're the best theologians you can find. There's not a bit of fluff (no "name it and claim it" garbage); just the SOLID Word of God, understood and explained perfectly.
This book belongs next to your Bible, especially if you're doing a study on the Book of Romans.

This is the best theological book I've ever read

If you want to read one book on theology this is THE book. This is clearly written so that all may understand it and is presented in a very straight-forward, logical manner. This is the book that helped push me over the edge on particular atonement. Mr. Pink uses a ton of scripture verses to defend all his positions. As a Christian, it is the word of God that is sharper than a two-edged sword and the Holy Spirit will work in you when reading this book since it is full of scripture. If your church library doesn't have this book, I highly recommend them getting it so that all within the church have a chance to read this outstanding book.

This is a keeper

This is the best book I have ever read on the
sovereignty of God. Grabs your interest from the
first page, and leaves you with total peace that
God really is in control.

Good intro to Calvinism

This has been my introduction to the Reformed doctrines of Grace, or Calvinism. I have always been a dispensational Baptist, not quite Arminian all the way, but also not Calvinistic all the way. I have always been disturbed by some of the verses in the bible that clearly talk about predestination and never heard a clear explanation of those verses; now I have. While I would have always said I believed God is Sovereign, now I really have a fuller understanding of that. While I have always believed humans are sinful, I now have a much more clear sense of how God sees us. And I have always been uncomfortable with Christians who proclaim Christ yet do not seem to even want to contend for the faith. This book validates my concerns. For these things alone, the book is worth reading. Pink is very scholarly and logical and makes many excellent points on these issues and more.

However, I am still struggling with the doctrines of people being predestined for hell and that Christ only died for a select few. There are many verses in the bible that seem to me to refute these two beliefs, Pink's excellent arguments withstanding. Pink does a great job of presenting the Calvinistic viewpoint, but I keep thinking of the verses to the contrary that I have always known.

Am I predestined to become a 5 point Calvinist? Right now I would say I am not irresistably drawn, but I will say I did get a lot out of this book and have decided to let God show me if I am to change my mind. In the meantime, I would like to read more of Pink's books because of his evident love for God and excellent expository skills-but I will read with caution.
