Meet the Author

Arthur Walkington Pink (1886) was an evangelist and Biblical scholar known for his Calvinist and puritan teachings. Born in England, Pink became a Christian in his early 20's and immigrated to the United States to study at Moody Bible Institute. After marrying in 1916, he went on to pastor churches in Australia and England before returning to the U.S. to pastor churches in Colorado, California, Kentucky, and South Carolina. Pink returned to England in 1934, turning his Christian service to writing books and pamphlets. After his death, his works were republished by the Banner of Truth Trust and reached a much wider audience, making him one of the most influential evangelical authors in the second half of the twentieth century. His writing sparked a revival of expository preaching and focused readers' hearts on biblical living. His works include numerous Bible studies and books such as The Attributes of God, The Doctrine of Justification, The Patience of God, and The Total Depravity of Man.

    Highly recommend - this is a must for those serious about really knowing God.

    This book is still relevant for today. The things written even decades ago speak to our society today and how we have placed God in the background and the devil in the forefronth. It will cause you to really look at how you view God and take you back to the place of knowing that God is still in control - no matter what we see with our natural eyes and hear with our natural ears. This is a must read for those desire a closer more intimate relationship with our Lord and our God.

    Don't buy from this publisher...he steals other publishers book covers.

    This cover is from the Baker House Publishers version of the book. New Century Books needs to be banned from Pubit for copyright violations. If you are a Christian don't buy from them.

    The True God of Scripture in Perspective and Out of the Box

    Mr. Pink dutifully studied the Word, prayed and spent much of his day recording the jewels of insight that are woven together throughout the holy bible about our Sovereign and incredible God in a refreshing and powerful way. He very carefully distills both the power and the grace of our God into the now classic and awesome work that is rightly titled 'The Sovereignty of God' by no accident, for many godly men and women for decades have thought of Mr. Pink as chosen to write and gifted as few others since the time of the Puritans. Because much of what is written in this book correctly causes the reader to become decreased in importance, in comparison to the Divine Sovereign, many will be offended at the Truth of His plan and purpose as detailed in the Scriptures - It has always been this way (John 6:60-61). What saith the Scriptures? That is the question that Mr. Pink continually brings forward by comparing scripture with scripture in this book and the resulting blessing that comes is this: Our thoughts and beliefs are put into proper perspective when held to the test of the Word.

    Great Truths!

    This book is filled with deep truths. Pink compares scripture with scripture to outline the sovereign character of our God. The God that is omnipotent and omniscient. It truly reveals the amazingly comforting truth that NOTHING is beyond God's control.
