Classic Teachings on the Nature of God: The Holiness of God; Chosen by God; Pleasing God—Three Books in One

“Every generation is under a biblical mandate to provide a legacy for the coming generation that honors the Lord and propels them with insight and encouragement rooted in the glorious Gospel of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Dr. R. C. Sproul in the Holiness of God and Chosen by God has provided such a legacy for the next generation. One generation stacks up stones to the praise of God to teach the next generation. Here are two stones from the stack that give praise to God! Open these books and you will find the biblical truth insightfully illustrated and challengingly communicated. May the Lord do great things through you as you profit from these works until he comes in glory.”

“Christians belong to God because we have been chosen by him. This simple truth is little understood by people who have been led to imagine that it is they who have chosen God and not the other way around. Dr. Sproul has shown us with the clarity that is his hallmark just what this means for us and why it is so important.”

“R.C. Sproul has long ago established his position as one of the most effective communicators of the great truths of Reformed theology. Chosen by God is an outstandingly helpful treatment of the doctrine of predestination. Characteristically, it is clear in both thought and expression, consistently led by Biblical teaching, and yet very lively in style and highly readable.”

“Chosen by God by R.C. Sproul is a classic of twentieth century Reformed literature. Nothing has surpassed it in clarity or passion. Those who count this volume as 'life-changing' are legion. I am ecstatic that it has been made available for a new generation to discover.”

“This is the book to hand anyone who has been inquiring about or struggling with the tenets of Calvinism in general, and with the subject of election in particular. It is easily read, finely illustrated, and belongs in the library of every Christian. I recommend it highly.”

“Chosen by God is a more focused look at unconditional election, one that is winsome and powerfully persuasive. If you had to pick one of Sproul's books to give to a Christian just introduced to the doctrine of election, this would be it. Putting his arm over your shoulder, R. C. shows you just what is at stake in God's sovereign decree.”

“To this day, whenever I talk to men my age who went through the same sort of theological conversion I did, they almost invariably identify Chosen by God as the book that made the difference. I know it did for me. It is still one of the most formative books of my life.”

“clearly one of the best introductions to Calvinism available.”

“If it is true, as Calvin tells us, that our greatest need is to know God, the specific need of our times is to know God in his holiness. We have suffered much loss both in Christian living and in Christian witness by our neglect of this theme. May God use this book to the blessing and upbuilding of a new generation of readers.”

“Nothing is more important in our Christian lives than our understanding of who God is. In this book Dr. Sproul shows us what that means and challenges us to think again about the depths of divine holiness. To ponder this is to see ourselves as we really are, to repent afresh and to turn to him again with greater dedication and commitment. This is a message we cannot do without.”

“Every generation is under a biblical mandate to provide a legacy for the coming generation that honors the Lord and propels them with insight and encouragement rooted in the glorious gospel of our Savior, Jesus Christ. In The Holiness of God, Dr. R.C. Sproul has provided such a legacy for the next generation.”

“The Holiness of God by R.C. Sproul is a classic of twentieth century Reformed literature. Few things are more important than to grasp the holiness of God and worship in reverence and awe. I am delighted that it has been republished for a new generation to discover.”

“The book, which is refreshingly written, is food for the soul. I know of no theme so in need of recovery in the church's life today as that of God's holiness, and this book is among the very best ever written on this subject.”

“I can say without hesitation that it was The Holiness of God, purchased on a whim, which planted the seeds of my current vocation as a Presbyterian pastor.”

“This is one of those books that, if I was more organized, I would schedule to read every year or so Though Dr. Sproul has written some great books in this life, I do think this is the best of them.”

“This book is a game-changer! Everything in our lives and ministries begins and ends with a soul-gripping awareness of God's infinite holiness. These dramatic chapters, written in high-impact fashion, reveal what the holiness of God is and how it should revolutionize our lives.”

“When people ask me to name the Ligonier teaching material they should use to help them grow; I tell them, 'You should start with The Holiness of God.'”

“When I first heard R. C. Sproul's teaching on the holiness of God, it brought me face-to-face with the awful splendor of God's majestic holiness in a new and fresh way. I was smitten with the realization that holiness is not merely a peripheral attribute of God; it is at the core of all He is and does. I realized then that this was precisely the message the church of our generation urgently needed - and still needs today. Nearly a decade after I first heard this series, the message still challenges my thinking and rekindles my heart.”

“Every Christian who is serious about his or her growth needs to read The Holiness of God. I profited greatly from this book.”
