Publisher's Description:
Boston finished this work in the final months of his life.This book examines a believer's conduct under pressing circumstances. The three themes of the book are: whatever crook there is in one's lot, it is of God's doing; whatever God mars, no human will be able to mend; and, seeing the crook in one's lot as the work of God is the only way to true contentment.
Don Kistler writes of this work, "Boston does not commit the error of needlessly trying to protect God's reputation, nor does he go to the opposite extreme of making God a compassionate but helpless bystander. Rather, Boston brings God right into the mix, and shows how He is actively involved in both the events and their resolution."
This book contains a study guide.
