It's unfortunate that certain words like " sovereignty" and "grace" have been co-opted by Reformed theology. Those two words in particular have almost become code words for Calvinism. Again that's too bad, because they're perfectly good, biblical words, but that's the world in which we live.
The book itself is a look at grace through the lens of the book of Jonah. As such it's very good. It's a very different approach to a very familiar story, and it's highly effective.
Tchividjian is best-known as Billy Graham's son-in-law, D. James Kennedy's successor at Coral Ridge Presbyterian, or another famous preacher who had an affair. Judging by this book, he's a pretty good author too. I can't agree with his theology, but with that caveat, I can recommend his book.
