Chosen by God
by R. C. Sproul · 200 pages · English
R. C. Sproul examines the biblical doctrine of divine election, answering common objections to God's sovereignty in salvation with clarity and pastoral care.
Sproul wrote this book after years of teaching the doctrine of election in churches and universities, noting that it was at once one of the most debated and least understood doctrines in Christianity. The book directly and pastorally examines texts such as Romans 9 and Ephesians 1.
Rather than avoiding hard questions about divine sovereignty and human responsibility, Sproul confronts them head-on, aiming to show that the doctrine of election, rightly understood, strengthens rather than weakens a believer's assurance and gratitude.

Chosen by God by R.C. Sproul is a classic of twentieth century Reformed literature. Nothing has surpassed it in clarity or passion.
If you had to pick one of Sproul's books to give to a Christian just introduced to the doctrine of election, this would be it.
