The Crook In The Lot

The Crook In The Lot: Or A Display Of The Sovereignty And Wisdom Of God In The Afflictions Of Men is a book written by Thomas Boston and originally published in 1737. This edition was published in 1852. The book is a treatise on the sovereignty and wisdom of God in the afflictions of men. Boston argues that God is in control of all things, including the afflictions that people experience in their lives. He uses biblical examples and personal anecdotes to illustrate his points. The title of the book comes from Ecclesiastes 7:13, which says, ""Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?"" Boston uses this verse to argue that God is the one who allows crooked paths to enter our lives, and that we should trust in his wisdom and sovereignty. The book is written in a straightforward, accessible style, and is intended to provide comfort and encouragement to those who are struggling with affliction. It is a classic work of Christian literature that has been widely read and appreciated for over two centuries.And The Christian�������s Deportment Under Them.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
