Where is God in the midst of the darkest days of human existence? Jeff Johnson weaves together a gripping narrative that intertwines the trial-filled journeys of Joseph, Job, Hannah, and other biblical figures with the voyage of a World War II staff sergeant—as they consider the role of the divine when earthly sorrows abound. Jeff reminds his readers that God is the God of soaring heavenly constellations but also of inner human contemplations, and our wisest recourse in the face of evil is simply to let God be God.
An excellent resource for Bible Study groups and Sunday School classes, with discussion questions included at the end of each chapter.
204 pages.
With much thanksgiving, I commend to you my friend Jeff Johnson’s book on the sovereignty of God. Jeff unpacks point by point the rich biblical truth that God is both the Almighty and the All-Ruler. He writes in plain language, so plain, in fact, that some people are more likely to have problems with what he says, not because they cannot understand him but because they do understand him. He addresses questions and objections with a pastor’s skill, but his conclusions are not driven by what will please men. Rather, he bends our ears to hear God the Father and His Son speak through His Word by His Spirit and calls us to lay ourselves at the feet of our great and gracious King with sweet submission and adoration. May God be pleased to use this book to cause many to do precisely that.

Jeff Johnson’s book helps us see God’s sovereignty in clear and practical ways while pointing out that God, in His perfections, transcends our best efforts to describe Him. This book brings us to understand what it means to say that God is sovereign. Then, it goes further. It shows us the sovereignty of our God as it really is—a source of our enduring wonder and admiration. What an “Only One” is our King! We are grateful to know Him a little better through this book.
