Apprehended by Sovereign Decree: Broadening Our Understanding of God's Sovereign Power over All Things - Especially Redemption (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798891125100)

Anniston, Alabama, 2001: Fredrick Hunter, an atheist and agnostic, is sitting at a break table at his new job when he reads something unexpected. He finds himself terrified and overwhelmed by what he discovers, and his whole life's trajectory drastically changes. Seized by a power he cannot explain, the hard truth begins to unfold as he recognizes himself within the pages of the one book that he has sworn not to trust.

Fredrick is introduced to a man who existed thousands of years ago, and this man leads him on a quest to understand his new awakening to the truth. It is through this investigative journey that Fredrick shares with us his private stages of transformation from death to life through the unseen power that draws him to the one person he has been running from his whole life--the man--Jesus, the Christ. Confronting a series of questions that most people are uncomfortable asking, Fredrick reaches for the raw truth that most people don't want to hear. It is through this intimate journey that Fredrick finds himself--Apprehended by Sovereign Decree.

I have reason to praise Him for my trials--for most probably, I would have been ruined without them! (John Newton)

If you see yourself as a little sinner, you will inevitably see Jesus as a little Savior. (Martin Luther)
