The Sovereignty of God
Book Description:
What is meant by the 'sovereignty' of God? Where is this idea taught in the Scriptures? How does it show itself in creation, salvation, and prayer? If God is 'sovereign', how does this relate to the exercise of human will?
All these questions and more are answered and discussed in The Sovereignty of God. In the many decades since this work was first published, it has become known as a first-class treatment of a vital subject - a reliable 'go-to' guide to return to often.
To come to grips with the doctrine of God's sovereignty is no mere academic exercise. As the author makes clear, 'The doctrine of God's sovereignty is a divine cordial to refresh our spirits. It is designed and adapted to mould the affections of the heart, and to give a right direction to conduct.'
This book remains, for younger and older Christians alike, a stimulus to growth in spiritual maturity and sanctification.

Contents:
Author: Born in Nottingham, England in 1886, Arthur Walkington Pink was converted to Christ while a spiritualist medium. He briefly attended the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Illinois, in 1910, before taking up his first pastorate at Silverton, Colorado. Little-known to the outside world, he pastored other churches in the United States and Australia before finally returning to his homeland in 1934. Settling in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, there he died almost unnoticed in 1952. By that date, however, the magazine he had started in 1922 - Studies in the Scriptures - was feeding several of the men who were leading a return to doctrinal Christianity, including Martyn Lloyd-Jones and Douglas Johnson (founder of Inter-Varsity) and, in book form after his death, his writings became very widely read across the world. The Trust publishes his The Sovereignty of God, Gleanings from Paul, Profiting from the Word, The Life of Elijah, and a number of titles which have been translated into Spanish.
