This is a marvellous book by a master theologian. In fact, it is three previously published books now appearing in one volume. In the first, The Holiness of God, he explores what it means to say God is holy. In the second, Chosen by God, he looks at the biblical doctrine of predestination. In the third, Pleasing God, he provides practical guidelines for how to grow as a Christian. R.C.Sproul writes in a clear, uncomplicated way. He has the wonderful gift of explaining theology in an understandable way and of applying that truth to our daily lives. There are many helpful illustrations and personal anecdotes which add colour to the text. When dealing with controversial matters he is never confrontational, but rather has a gracious spirit giving full weight to opposing views. This is especially true in the middle book on predestination: all Christians of whatever persuasion will benefit from reading his carefully constructed and logical argument. Writing from a reformed perspective, this book is rooted in scripture which the author sees as the final authority. Read it to broaden your understanding of our great God, his ways and what pleases him.
