How could someone who knew that no one can come to Christ unless the Father draws them still plead with them to look to the Saviour? The Bible clearly entreats us to go after the lost, so Donald Macleod tackles the objections raised by those who argue that since there is no universal redemption there should be no universal gospel offer.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardcover, 160 pages, Christian Focus \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEndorsements  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is by far the best account I have ever read on the free offer of the gospel. MacLeod demolishes all the arguments that would inhibit or restrict offering Christ freely to sinners. He sets the gospel offer in the widest context of the purpose of God and the work of Christ. Above all, he communicates this with an infectious passion for the glory of Christ and the salvation of sinners, young and old. In today’s world this book is desperately needed; it could do untold good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"credit\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Letham\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-[0.75rem]\"\u003eWales Evangelical School of Theology, Bridgend, Wales\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI always enjoy reading Donald MacLeod, as much for the clarity and precision of his arguments as for the elegance of his theology.  Here he addresses an important topic – the free offer of the gospel – with his usual pungency and passion.  It will clarify the issue for those who believe in the free offer but are confused by its connection to God’s sovereignty; and it will hopefully persuade those who are tempted to truncate God’s grace in a misguided attempt to exalt his election.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"credit\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarl R.
