Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a Bible study on biblical election (God's choosing of His believers). It is a study dealing with people's choices in light of God's choices and sovereignty. Many questions arise from this subject: Do I exercise my will, or is everything predetermined? Do I have a "free" will? How does God's sovereignty really work? Am I just a puppet with God pulling the strings? Can I truly love God if my will isn't really "free"? How does God's "foreknowledge" apply to my salvation? How much involvement do I really have in my own salvation? These are difficult questions to be sure. We can observe the Bible dealing with this subject from two very different perspectives: The horizontal perspective: Mankind's perspectives and actions. The exercising of people's will and choices as they participate in life and relationships around them. The vertical perspective: God's perspective and actions, outside of people's perceptions. It requires God revealing these things in His Word for us to know about them. The book deals with the obvious occurrence of people exercising their wills (which is observable - the horizontal perspective). It also looks at what the Bible reveals to us about what God may be doing behind the scenes (which cannot be observed - the vertical perspective). Even though a few illustrations and analogies are included, this book relies heavily on the topic as dealt with from the pages of the Word of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly 200,000 copies sold! Chosen by God by Dr. R. C. Sproul is a contemporary classic on predestination, a doctrine that isn’t just for Calvinists. It is a doctrine for all biblical Christians. In this updated and expanded edition of Chosen by God, Sproul shows that the doctrine of predestination doesn’t create a whimsical or spiteful picture of God, but rather paints a portrait of a loving God who provides redemption for radically corrupt humans. We choose God because he has opened our eyes to see his beauty; we love him because he first loved us. There is mystery in God’s ways, but not contradiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Do the Five Points of Calvinism Really Mean? Many have heard of Reformed theology, but may not be certain what it is. Some references to it have been positive, some negative. It appears to be important, and they'd like to know more about it. But they want a full, understandable explanation, not a simplistic one. What Is Reformed Theology? is an accessible introduction to beliefs that have been immensely influential in the evangelical church. In this insightful book, R. C. Sproul walks readers through the foundations of the Reformed doctrine and explains how the Reformed belief is centered on God, based on God's Word, and committed to faith in Jesus Christ. Sproul explains the five points of Reformed theology and makes plain the reality of God's amazing grace.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lewis struck me as the most thoroughly converted man I ever met," observes Walter Hooper in the preface to this collection of essays by C.S. Lewis. "His whole vision of life was such that the natural and the supernatural seemed inseparably combined. "It is precisely this pervasive Christianity which is demonstrated in the forty-eight essays comprising God in the Dock. Here Lewis addresses himself both to theological questions and to those which Hooper terms "semi-theological," or ethical. But whether he is discussing "Evil and God," "Miracles," "The Decline of Religion," or "The Humanitarian Theory of Punishment," his insight and observations are thoroughly and profoundly Christian. Drawn from a variety of sources, the essays were designed to meet a variety of needs, and among other accomplishments they serve to illustrate the many different angles from which we are able to view the Christian religion. They range from relatively popular pieces written for newspapers to more learned defenses of the faith which first appeared in The Socratic Digest. Characterized by Lewis's honesty and realism, his insight and conviction, and above all his thoroughgoing commitments to Christianity, these essays make God in the Dock very much a book for our time.--Amazon.com.

Book excerpt: What is the role of the will in believing the good news of the gospel? Why is there so much controversy over free will throughout church history? R. C. Sproul finds that Christians have often been influenced by pagan views of the human will that deny the effects of Adam's fall. In Willing to Believe, Sproul traces the free-will controversy from its formal beginning in the fifth century, with the writings of Augustine and Pelagius, to the present. Readers will gain understanding into the nuances separating the views of Protestants and Catholics, Calvinists and Arminians, and Reformed and Dispensationalists. This book, like Sproul's Faith Alone, is a major work on an essential evangelical tenet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are There Two Wills in God? Divine Election and God's Desire for All to Be Saved In this short, theological essay, John Piper builds a scriptural case that God's unconditional election unto salvation is compatible with God's genuine desire and offer for all to be saved. Helping us to make sense of this seemingly paradoxical relationship, Piper wisely holds both truths in tension as he explores the Bible's teaching on this challenging topic, graciously responds to those who disagree, and motivates us to passionately proclaim the free offer of the gospel to all people.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you wondered what God's intentions are or if He has intentions for you? Answers to these questions and more are found in Unearthing Your Heavenly Election, which reveals the logical love in God's choosing of you to be in heaven with Him eternally. Unearthing Your Heavenly Election is a compilation of verses from the Old and New Testaments progressively arranged to uncover the sensible reasoning behind predestination. As an added bonus, you will learn the parallel doctrine in the Bible that will relieve, comfort, and empower your Christian walk. That is the doctrine of eternal security. You will find answers to questions like: How can you claim Jesus chose me when I am the one who chose Jesus? Can people lose their salvation? Why would some people not be chosen? Study in depth Jesus' separation of the goats from His sheep, and come to understand His parables of the talents, wheat, and tares. Take advantage of the included glossary for simple definitions of commonly used Christian words viewed in the light of election. Start enjoying your Christian walk as you shed vague ideas concerning salvation, and instead, embrace the clarity and intensity of it. Release your grip on guilt, and let it fall away as you discover more love than you have ever known. Lose the confusion you have had about God's saving grace, and find the answers to questions you have been afraid to ask. Come to a place of peace and relaxation with yourself and with God.

Book excerpt: "Our Christian assertion is that there is more to our lives than 'now.' If there is not then even the now is meaningless. But we say now counts. Why? Now counts because we are creatures who have an origin and a destiny which is rooted and grounded in God." --R.C. Sproul ------ There is no such thing as a meaningless moment. Since we're made in God's image and created for His eternal glory, everything we think, say, and do today matters forever. The question is, How should this truth direct our daily lives? For more than forty years, Dr. R.C. Sproul wrote his recurring column in Tabletalk magazine, Right Now Counts Forever, to apply the teachings of the Bible and Reformed theology to everyday life. No topic was off-limits because every part of our lives bears enduring significance. Through the years, Dr. Sproul helped Christians give careful thought to topics in theology and history, politics and current events, relationships and entertainment, and more. In this four-volume collection, hundreds of Dr. Sproul's columns have been brought together for the first time. Written to serve the church, this treasury of theological reflection can help guide believers of all ages to live with eternity in mind and devote all of life to the glory of God.
