About this audiobook
The Mystery of Providence by John Flavel
What do you do when life doesn’t make sense? In The Mystery of Providence, the 17th-century pastor John Flavel shows how God is at work in every part of your life, in the happy turns and in the painful ones. Drawing on Scripture, Flavel looks at how God’s providence guides, protects and provides for his people, and how you can learn to read it, trust it and thank him for it. This edition has been rewritten in clear, modern English, so you can follow Flavel’s warm, pastoral voice without wading through old language. It’s an encouraging listen for anyone facing uncertainty, loss or change, or simply wanting to see God’s hand more clearly.
