description: The conundrum or paradox of God's sovereignty and man's free moral agency can be understand through a genre of books that allows the reader to make choices. Like the "choose your own adventure" books, we have the option to choose, but we must also acquiesce to the consequences of these decisions. Fortunately because of the protective hedge God has put around us, our options are greatly limited and the consequences are more secure than if we ignore or reject His calling. We have the freedom of choice, but God strongly encourages us, with the help and motivation of God's Holy Spirit, to choose life and seek first the Kingdom of God.
