Description

At times, the ups and downs of life can leave us feeling lost at sea. When the winds of shifting circumstances bring trials beyond our control, where can we find an anchor for our souls? For Christians, our safe harbor in both the calm and the storm is found in God alone.

This book provides:

A biblical foundation for understanding God’s sovereignty
An overview of how the Lord’s reign influences all of life
Focused chapters on God’s sovereign help in temptation and forgiving others
Answers to common questions about divine sovereignty

About the Author

Endorsements

“This book is an invitation 'to join the happy ranks of sovereigntists: to believe that God is God and, as such, He is sovereign over all things. Dr. Witmer so ably shows us, first, that it's decidedly biblical to be a sovereigntist. Second, it's overwhelmingly practical, as Dr. Witmer shows us how only a sovereigntist view can help people effectively weather the storms and seasons of life. Count me among the members of the happy ranks, and I hope this book adds many, many more.“
—Dr. Stephen J. Nichols

“The doctrine of the sovereignty of God is a tonic when things around us seem haphazard and often hostile. The truth that God holds the universe in the palm of His hands and orders the course of events from beginning to end helps us sleep at night and awake knowing that even when we sleep, He is in absolute control. Let Dr. Witmer reassure you again of God's sovereignty in all of life's vicissitudes, and you will be wonderfully blessed. I know no other book that will both inform and challenge you on this important truth, written with such ease and simplicity. I thoroughly commend it to you.“
—Dr. Derek W.H. Thomas
