About this ebook
If God is in control of everything, can Christians sit back and not bother to evangelize? Or does active evangelism imply that God is not really sovereign at all?
In this classic study, J. I. Packer shows how false both these attitudes are. In a careful review of the biblical evidence, he demonstrates how a right understanding of God's sovereignty is not so much a barrier to evangelism as an incentive and powerful support for it.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5A very profound work that is definitely worth reading. Packer builds his argument well and seeks to empower the reader with a more Biblical understanding of God's sovereignty in evangelism.
