Finally finished it! Flavel walks the reader through various spheres of life containing evidence of the providence of God . . . which is actually really helpful, since it's easy to lose sight of some of the more commonplace (yet nonetheless awe-inspiring) examples of His faithfulness.
Another loaner from my cousin, and it's another great read. Contrasted to Thomas Watson's, "All Things For Good", this book was a bit denser, harder to read, but still packed full of insightful biblical truths. It was more difficult for me to be drawn into this one, but when I focused, I was grateful for all the information on God's providence. That's not a word I hear very often, so it was interesting to read about, and basically realize that the author is talking about God's mercy, grace, provision, power, etc.
The book dives into the evidence and effects of God's hand in every aspect of the world and our lives, big and small. It was a powerful reminder that He is always in control, even when we don't understand how He's working.
I would recommend this to any Christian wanting to be reminded of God's presence and provision, or simply for anyone wanting to study this aspect of God's character and our salvation.

Part 1, about the evidence for providence, had a few good nuggets, but I was mostly unsatisfied. I'm not sure I understand the point of making a case for providence based on observation if indeed everything seemingly good or bad is the result of providence. This might be a fault of my own, but hey it's my rating. Parts 2 and 3 were excellent, as would be expected of Flavel.
