Synopsis

Have you ever wondered whether your prayers for the people you love actually make any difference?

If you believe God is sovereign — that He knows the end from the beginning and has chosen His own from before the foundation of the world — then you've probably wrestled with the question that keeps so many believers up at night. If it's already decided, what's the point of praying? If my child, my spouse, my friend isn't among the elect, can anything I do change that?

Most Christians land in one of two places. Either they embrace Calvinism and find quiet resignation in God's sovereignty — trusting that the elect will be saved regardless. Or they lean Arminian and place the weight of salvation on the individual's free response to the gospel. Both positions have real strengths. And both, this book argues, leave something critically important off the table.

God's Will and God's Desire presents a third position — one that is not a compromise between the two, and not a middle-of-the-road attempt to avoid the hard questions. It is a genuinely different way of reading the scriptures, one that takes God's sovereignty with absolute seriousness while also taking seriously what the bible says about the power of intercessory prayer to move God's heart.

The tension at the center of this debate is real. God desires that none should perish — and yet He saves only some. The gap between His will and His desire is not an illusion. And this book makes the case that the bridge across that gap runs, in significant part, through the prayer lives of those who already know Him.

In this book you will discover:

• Why both the Calvinist and Arminian positions, for all their strengths, still leave a crucial question unanswered
• How God's relationship to time — as a being who exists outside of it entirely — changes everything about how we understand election and prayer
• Why your prayers for a lost person are not arriving after God has already made up His mind — and what that means for how you pray
• How the church, not just the individual or God alone, is the pivot point in who gets saved
• Why the gap between God's will to save some and His desire to save all is bridged, in part, by the fervent intercession of His people
• What the bible actually teaches about hardened hearts, transformed hearts, and the war being waged in the spiritual realm over the souls of the lost
• How to pray for the people you love with the kind of persistent, faith-driven intercession that moves heaven

This is not a book for people who want easy answers. It is a book for people who love God, take the bible seriously, and refuse to stop praying for the people they love — even when their theology seems to argue against it.

Whether you've never heard the words Calvinism and Arminianism, or you've been wrestling with this debate for decades, God's Will and God's Desire will give you a fresh lens for understanding one of the most important questions in the Christian life — and send you back to your knees with a new confidence that what you do there genuinely matters.

Your prayers help shape eternity. This book shows you why.
