Finally got around to reading/listening to this book and was blown away! It's well worth the effect. If you have trouble understanding God's will in your life and the world give this a try.

“The truth is, the crook in the lot is the great engine of Providence for making men appear in their true colours, discovering both their ill and their good. And if the grace of God is in them, it will bring it out, and cause it to display itself. It so puts the Christian to his shifts, that however it makes him stagger for awhile, yet it will at length evidence both the reality and the strength of grace in him. "You are in heaviness through manifold temptations, that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, may be found unto praise.” - Thomas Boston, The Crook in the Lot: Or the Sovereignty and Wisdom of God Displayed in the Afflictions of Men

Yours in the Lord,
