Story
All Things for Good by Thomas Watson provides the biblical answer to the contemporary question: Why do bad things happen to good people? Thomas Watson, the 17th-century minister of St. Stephen's Walbrook, believed he faced two great difficulties in his pastoral ministry. The first was making the unbeliever sad in the recognition of his need of God's grace. The second was making the believer joyful in response to God's grace.

Story
Taking a phrase from Matthew 12:20, Sibbes explains what it means to be a "bruised reed". It is a metaphor that exemplifies the way in which God humbles sinners by allowing them to see sin in the way that he sees it - the lesson being that God sometimes wounds before healing but with the ultimate goal of deepening our love for Christ.

Story
To the mind enlightened by divine truth, the difference between a filial fear of offending God and the dread of punishment is very plain. Still, by the devil's sophistry, some of the most pious Christians have been puzzled and bewildered. Bunyan was not ignorant of Satan's devices, and he has roused the energies of his powerful mind, guided by divine truth, to render this important doctrine so clear and easy to be understood, that the believer may not err.

Story
Old Paths is a collection of 19 of J. C. Ryle's most effective tracts on the leading truths of Christianity, which are, as he says, "necessary to salvation." In including in such a series Inspiration, Election, and Perseverance, he allows that good Christians have disagreed and will still disagree about them, but he inserts them nevertheless on account of the immense importance of the first and the extraordinary neglect into which the last two have fallen. Ryle's racy style, plainspokenness, and good taste are sure to secure your affection and hold your attention.

Put on your armor - it’s time to fight. We are in a spiritual war, William Gurnall reminds us, and “the Christian’s safety lies in resisting. All the armour provided is to defend the Christian fighting, none to secure him flying; stand, and the day is ours; fly or yield, and all is lost". This hard-hitting volume is packed with biblical wisdom for day-to-day Christian living, as helpful today as it was when first published nearly 400 years ago. Although history left us little knowledge of William Gurnall’s life, it preserved this book.

As a minister of the Gospel, he loved to proclaim the grace of God to sinners, and he earnestly persuaded them to embrace the Lord Jesus Christ. Published in 1688, the year of his death, The Jerusalem Sinner Saved brings together the fruit of Bunyan's thoughts on the grace of forgiveness.

Publisher's Summary
Originally published in 1737, The Crook in the Lot continues to bring comfort and inspire countless souls, and it remains one of the most beloved of all Puritan classics. Its depth of explanation regarding God's role in our afflictions and sufferings is without equal.

This short but powerful treatise remains deeply relevant today.

Profound teaching for all “Timothy’s”
I was greatly encouraged & molded with greater awareness of the gentle kindness of our blessed Lord Jesus in his dealings with us as The Servant of the LORD. Paul’s words in 2 Timothy 2:22-26 (esp. 24) profoundly echo & apply Christ’s disposition and behavior to all the Lord’s “Timothy’s”. The Lord’s servant “must be” kind, able to teach, patient, gentle & deeply aware of the sovereign hand of God behind, in and through all things & circumstances; his “Lot”... This is a book for all pastor/teachers, young & old. He determines our “lot”. He determines our “crook”. Awareness of His sovereignty greatly aided The Lord’s servant humbly walking in his Master’s footsteps. Wonderful timely book by Thomas Boston!

Great little book to understand trials
I’m so glad I listened to this little gem. Boston is so much easier to understand than some other Puritan authors (Burroughs for example). It’s helpful to listen to books like this BEFORE a trial besets oneself as passages then can come to mind while dealing with the fiery trials of life. It helps to put our focus on the eternal reward of Heaven and that all else here on earth is vanity. I also enjoyed the reader, well spoken and comforting voice.

Teaching on Suffering
The Crook in the Lot, dating back to the 1700s, is a phenomenal book that turned out to be very healing for me. It helped me to see and understand that nothing in my life has come to pass without having been filtered through the loving fingers of God. I SHOULD'VE KNOWN IT . . . I DID KNOW IT . . . but this book gave me a peace and understanding that I had not found in my 65 years thus far. I was born into this world, the child of an alcoholic father. My mother failed to protect me or my siblings. I was really never a child, never carefree. I became MY OWN parent. Yet, amazingly, God gave me two grandmothers who thought I was the best thing since sliced bread . . . otherwise, I think I would have withered and amounted to nothing. I accepted Jesus at age nine at my grandparents' little country church. I fell away by the time I was twelve. I thought I could never be good enough for God. But He never left me. Listening to The Crook in the Lot, I was able to grasp much more of my past, my own choices, and the impact they have had on my life. Sin is a universal problem ever since the Garden of Eden. Yet God is merciful. What a profound book.

Great treatise on Suffering and Humiliation
Thomas Boston examines the doctrine of suffering and humiliation in this work. He examines “the crook in our lot” which is an old way of saying when our path goes left instead of right. He examines not only causes for these crooks but also encouragement for those that find themselves in those places.
