About this listen

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.

Thomas Boston - a well-known, influential, and beloved Puritan - was famous for his ability to communicate sound biblical truths in a way that conveyed clarity and insight. In this Puritan classic, he not only reveals a theological understanding of the problems of pain and suffering but also preaches from tangible experience; Boston himself had problems in life that caused him great physical and emotional pain. This short but powerful treatise remains deeply relevant today.

The language was beautiful and the author’s insight into God’s plan for us highlighted what the Bible says. His facility with words and expressions was outstandingly good and he used this talent to repeat what he wanted to say in a variety of beautiful expressions. Repetition is , of course, an excellent learning technique.
The reader had a very good clear voice and it was easy to make out every word if he didn’t put you to sleep as there was no modulation.
I think I now need a paper or kindle copy which I now want to highlight.

This was a wonderful book that I might have enjoyed more had I read it in paper form.r
