Suggestion from the Pastor

The Mystery of Providence

By: John Flavel
Published by: Banner of Truth Trust

Pastor’s Description:

This small devotional on the providence of God is one of my favorite books. Having discovered it in 1988, it is one of the few books I have read over again and am planning on re-reading in 2012. For anyone wishing to be encouraged through a deeper understanding of God’s work in our personal affairs, The Mystery of Providence is a treasure.
John Flavel was a Puritan pastor, living in the 1600’s who came to understand the beauty of meditating on God’s governing power.
With a pastor’s heart, Flavel wrote this book to convince Christians of the great benefit found in contemplating the providence of God.
The illustrations from the lives of other Christians, as well as his theological and biblical insights, are refreshing in an age of shallow Christianity. Those that decide
to read this short work will find a rich blessing for their souls.
