Mystery of Providence, The

In four succinct chapters, John J Murray explains the key truths of the doctrine of providence. With plenty of examples from Scripture, he sets out the Bible’s teaching on the wonderful works of God and shows how providence both brings glory to God and prepares God’s people for glory.

What God is skilfully weaving in providence is often impenetrably mysterious to us. But as Mr Murray shows, there is still an abundance of truth about providence to encourage and comfort us, and lead us to more adoring praise of the holy, wise and powerful God of providence. As Maurice Roberts says in the Introduction to this volume, ‘There are vital lessons to be learned from his fine exposition of the doctrine of providence.’

“this book, which is deeply rooted in Puritan theology, and which also derives much of its attractiveness from the author’s own experimental knowledge of his subject, shows that the study of the book of our own personal providence alongside the study of the book of God’s word can bring great comfort … This book is extremely readable and ought to be a must read for every Christian. Highly recommended.”
