FERGUSON<\/p>\n<h2>Book Description<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;s people are not lost in a meaningless maze, but are safe in the hands of a loving Father. However &#8216;mysterious&#8217; His ways seem at present, He has purposed good for His people, and will &#8216;make it plain&#8217; in His own time. Even when we feel most at a loss about God&#8217;s dealings with us, He is teaching us lessons which could be learned in no other way.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"toctoggle\">Table of Contents <a class=\"button\" href=\"#toc\">Expand \u2193<\/a><\/h3>\n<div id=\"toc\" class=\"table-of-contents\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Foreword by Sinclair B.
