Predestination and Our Will: The Bible's Astonishing and Wonderful Teaching - Paperback

by Douglas Daudelin (Author)

What has God predestined? How does it come to pass? Can my prayers influence God?

There has been much philosophizing and debate about predestination and free will for thousands of years. Those discussions frequently provoke visceral reactions, which is not surprising since views on these topics can raise troubling issues.

Has God purposefully created a world with evil in it? The Bible says the names in the Book of Life were written "from the foundation of the world." Does that mean it doesn't matter how I live?

However, because God is good, we can expect that a right understanding of the Scriptures' teaching about these things will not be troubling nor depressing, but rather encouraging and inspiring. Indeed, looking carefully at what the Bible teaches, this book finds that the way God has made things is both astonishing and wonderful!
