The Mystery of ProvidenceAuthor: John Flavel
<
>
Yes, God works in mysterious ways. The Bible itself emphatically affirms that the thoughts of man are far away from the thoughts of God. And that applies not only to the common affairs of life, but mostly to the salvation of man from his sinful state. The very instrument God uses to bring salvation in front of men - the preaching of the Gospel - is so foreign to the carnal mind, that the preaching of the cross seems foolishness. However, to those who are saved, the Gospel is the very means of salvation and, when they look back to their lives, to their conversion, and their Christian experience, they see clearly that all these were part of the wonderful Providence of God. And the Puritan John Flavel explained and applied these truths in a marvelous way in his unique book The Mystery of Providence. This book has been originally published in 1678. Current edition has been proofread, typeset for eBook readers, and slightly updated for modern readers. About the author: John Flavel (1327-1691) was an English Presbyterian clergyman, puritan, and author. He studied theology at University College in Oxford, England, and started his ministry in 1650 at Diptford, Avon. After the Act of Uniformity, he was ejected, but continued to preach in homes and private settings for some years. Flavel died at Exeter on June 26, 1691.
