My Review of "hand in Hand"


Randy Alcorn's newest book, hand in Hand:  The Beauty of God's Sovereignty and Meaningful Human Choice, goes after answers for some weighty and sometimes-vexing theological questions, with a true pastor's heart.  If God is sovereign, how am I free?  If God is not sovereign, how can God be God?  And is it possible to reconcile God's sovereignty with human freedom?

Alcorn is right to point out that the traditional answers to those questions only present more difficult questions.  So instead of constructing an argument from a few carefully-chosen biblical texts, he looks at the full panoply of Scripture.  Everyone will find their side's arguments explored, with affirmations where there are biblical affirmations to make. 

And he also helps you listen to others' arguments in meaningful ways. 

In the end, this is a book every thoughtful Christian should read.  And probably re-read. 

I received this book free, from the Blogging for Books program, in exchange for my honest review.
