The Crook in the Lot

Thomas Boston (1676-1732)

An extended meditation on Ecclesiastes 7:13, arguing that every affliction and difficulty in the believer's life is placed there by God and cannot be removed until he removes it. Published posthumously in 1737, it is Boston's most pastoral work, combining doctrinal precision with deep sympathy for those under hardship.
