We believe in God who is sovereign over all things. Therefore we believe in providence, not coincidence. But many of us struggle to understand what the Lord is doing with us as he shapes the ups and downs of our daily lives. ‘Why did he allow this?’ ’Why didn’t that happen when I felt sure it would?’ Tim Chester has written a fine, down to earth book tackling such questions. It is full of Biblical common sense and will be helpful to every Christian who reads it. It not only helps us to understand how God trains, corrects and develops us spiritually through life’s circumstances but leaves us genuinely encouraged by our Father’s loving purposes.

Read moreTimely and needful. Tim Chester’s treatment of a difficult issue is both pastorally sensitive and biblically faithful. A “go–to” aid for those who find themselves in need of help and counsel when the rod of chastisement strikes. Warmly recommended.
