Overview

It is one of the glories of the gospel that it is universal in scope. There is nothing narrow or limited about the good news of salvation, but we often need reminded of this. When the world seems increasingly hostile the Church can be tempted to retreat in on itself. Donald John Maclean seeks to remind Christians of the fullness and freeness of the gospel, and to encourage them to share it with those who have not yet turned to Christ.

Praise for All Things Are Ready

This superb new book deals with some very live questions amongst Reformed Christians: does God love everyone? Can we offer everyone the invitation to come to Christ? With careful and systematic use of Scripture, the author conclusively shows us that the answer is a resounding ‘Yes’.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is the greatest news the world has ever known. As Christians, we need to tell everyone about it. In this well–written book, Donald John Maclean expertly and concisely takes readers through the biblical, theological, and practical reasons why the gospel invitation is for all people.

—John W. Tweedale, Academic Dean and Professor of Theology, Reformation Bible College, Sanford, Florida

Thoroughly biblical, confessionally reformed, and winsomely written—a little gem of a book! Here is warm–hearted Calvinism on full display!
