Jehovah Jireh: A Treatise on Providence by William S Plumer and published by Classics.
Based on the words of Abraham in Genesis 22:18 - The Lord would provide - Plumer presents us with a masterpiece on the providence of God in the world. The aim of this book is to show that the hand of God has never left the world guide and directing all things that occur so that He is glorified through them. Beginning with what providence is we are taken methodically through the vastness of God's providential work which includes why the Lord appears to delay in acting in punishing the wicked.
He also shows how the Lord uses evil people, such as Judas Iscariot for His God as well as looking at the mystery behind God's providence and how it extents over the nations of the world. The book has a wealth of historical examples of how God's providence has been displayed in the life of various believers but the overwhelming theme of the book is that regardless of what is happening in the world, the Lord is still in control and the Lord knows what He is doing. Something that Christians of every generation needs to hear.
