All That God Cares About: Common Grace and Divine Delight

by Richard J. Mouw

Overview

How do Christians account for the widespread presence of goodness in a fallen world? Richard Mouw, one of the most influential evangelical voices in America, presents his mature thought on the topic of common grace. Addressing a range of issues relevant to engaging common grace in the 21st century, Mouw shows how God takes delight in all things that glorify him—even those that happen beyond the boundaries of the church—and defends the doctrine of common grace from its detractors.
