Mysterious Ways: The Providence of God in Life of Joseph

by David Kingdon

To know that God wisely governs all His creatures and all their actions is one thing, but to apply this truth in our own lives is quite a different matter, especially when our hopes are disappointed and providence seems to frown.
With great insight and pastoral wisdom, David Kingdon helps us to apply lessons from the life of Joseph to our own lives. He shows that God's people are not lost in a meaningless maze, but are safe in the hands of a loving Father. However 'mysterious' His ways seem at present, He has purposed good for His people, and will 'make it plain' in His own time. Even when we feel most at a loss about God's dealings with us, He is teaching us lessons which could be learned in no other way. 'Kingdon combines the ability to understand the text of Scripture with the sensitive heart of a pastor well prepared to be our friend and guide in this area of spiritual experience' (from the Foreword by SINCLAIR B. FERGUSON).

I feel weird giving a book on the providence of God two stars, but it wasn't all that special. And after reading it alongside reading the story of Joseph in Genesis, it really did not bring anything out of the text that I did not already notice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is an easy to read book which looks at the lessons about God and his providence from the life of Joseph. The book sticks to the central theme of providence without going on tangents and looking at many other lessons which could be studied which makes it an enjoyable read.
