About the book

In this ebook, Heath Lambert addresses the important topic of the doctrine of common grace. He exhibits a command of the subject and with laser-like precision demonstrates the beauties and limitations of this crucial doctrine. He also emphasizes what historic biblical counseling has taught concerning the sufficiency of Scripture and shows the weaknesses of endeavoring to use the doctrine of common grace to allow for integration of secular methodologies. Of course, this is all for the glory of God and the good of His people through the power of the gospel.
