A very clear & readable book on a difficult and often misunderstood subject, predestination. Great overview of reformed theology with illustrations that really helped me to understand the concepts better. ( )

If you want a clear understanding of Predestination, from a Reformed Theologian's perspective, this is the book you want to get. Though I am not a Calvinist, I appreciate Sproul's clear communication. ( )

This book deals specifically with the Reformed views of predestination, free will, and foreknowledge, and how they operate in our salvation. This was THE book that convinced me that Reformed theology actually handles the scriptures more accurately than any other viewpoint I have encountered in Christianity. ( )

I was expecting this to be much more austere and dogmatic than it actually was. I went into reading it fairly sure I held a Calvinist view point and wanting a systematic treatment of it that I could learn from, but afraid that I'd be put off by a stark treatment of the material and of people who hold other views. I found an author who, whilst being clear about the strengths of his own position, engaged with other viewpoints in a manner that honoured their Christian integrity. A lightness of touch, a sprinkling of humour, and an evident love of Christ in the author made this a thoroughly engaging read. ( )
