Publisher's summary

This Puritan classic, first published in the late 17th century, sets forth the biblical teaching of God and his interaction in our lives.

No detail is too small or insignificant for God; he is there, working out "all things for good". And in that promise, every believer can take comfort that God truly has a purpose for every single person and will unfold his plan, which includes every detail in our daily lives.

Chapter topics include: proofs of a special providence; the operations of providence; the duty of reflecting on the operations of providence; directions for reflecting on the dispensations of providence; motives to a due observance of providence; and the practicality of providence.

Uplifting and instructive

This book increased my gratefulness and opened my eyes to see the "hand" of providence in my life. Loved the very practical advice in the last chapters. Very well read by Jim Denison. Highly recommended!

Great book on providence! I felt the writer stressed the role of providence in helping us remove the desire for committing sinful acts.

Encouraging

The way Flavel writes is fantastic - he describes how a Christian ought to think given difficult situations. He also describes how we ought not to think. Highly recommended for a Christian going through tough times.
