R. C. Sproul has committed his life to clearly communicating deep, practical truths from Gods Word to students and laypeople. His lucid teaching style brings clarity to the most difficult--and often contentious--biblical and theological questions. Gathered here in one volume are three of his best-selling books--over $40 worth of reading at a great low price.From Rudolf Ottos`` mysterium tremendum`` to Martin Luthers ``insanity``and Jonathan Edwardss fiery sermons, Sprouls classic ``The Holiness of God``illuminates history and Scripture to help readers understand--and live with--the tension that exists between Gods terrifying holiness and his inexplicable grace.In ``Chosen by God,`` Sproul tackles the divisive subject of predestination, and discusses Gods sovereignty and the problem of evil, human freedom, and the task of evangelism. He explains that there is a mystery in Gods ways but not contradiction; and paints a picture of a loving--not spiteful or whimsical--God who provides redemption for radically corrupt people.``Pleasing God`` explores the topic of sanctification--how we satisfy God by pursuing righteousness. Sproul examines the constant battle Christians wage against sin--pride, slothfulness, dishonesty. He reveals how many Christians have tragically abandoned the struggle, but that God delights in those who press on.Although Sproul brings a Reformed background and approach to topics, his work is not just for Calvinists but for all Christians who want to understand and build on the foundations of their faith.
