Sovereignty of Grace

This is a straightforward, clearly written book dispelling the notion that election and predestination are cold, austere doctrines from the mind of John Calvin. Custance conclusively shows that these doctrines of grace are alive, vital and are the very heart of the Gospel itself. Explore useful practical applications of what is often thought of as purely theological matters. Experience the comfort of God's sovereign grace in daily life, here and now. Gain new insights into that paradox of God's sovereignty and yet our sense of freedom of choice and responsibility. Tackle knotty problems, such as, "Why bother evangelizing if election guarantees salvation for the elect?" Comprehensive, thorough, scholarly, and convincing. - Bible League Quarterly The logical explanation and cogent defense of Calvinism is the virtue of this book. - The Outlook For Custance, the Word is the basic textbook, but his wide, deep reading in history and literature add to delightful reading. - Reformed Review A result of forty years of personal reflection and growth. That Custance is not a trained theologian but a scientist, and writes so straightforward and compelling a book is its uniqueness. - Christianity Today
