The Crook in the Lot
(Puritan Paperbacks)
Book • 2024
"The Crook in the Lot" by Thomas Boston explores the concept of God's providential dealings with individuals through the metaphor of a 'crook,' referring to life's trials and difficulties.
Boston argues that every person has a 'lot' in life, assigned by God, and that even the painful or challenging aspects of this lot are part of His wise and loving plan.
The book emphasizes that believers should accept their circumstances with humility and trust, recognizing that God uses these experiences to refine their character and draw them closer to Himself.
Boston encourages readers to view their trials as opportunities for spiritual growth and to find contentment in submitting to God's sovereign will.
