Like his Puritan colleagues, Sedgwick was a wise observer of providence. In “Providence Handled Practically,” he shows how the over ruling hand of God should be considered as it comes to bear on the life of the Christian and the church. After briefly explaining the words of Matthew 10:29-31, he distinguishes between God’s general and special providence. Then follows an extensive discussion of the practical use of this doctrine. The author’s Thanksgiving sermon, entitled “Haman’s Vanity,” which was preached before the House of Commons is added as an appendix to this work. Here, Sedgwick draws a parallel between Haman’s plot to decimate the Jews and a Royalist plot that was hatched in London to seize the Parliamentary leaders.
This edition has been edited for modern readers and has an introductory essay by Joel R. Beeke and Matthew Winzer.
Read it, pass it along to a friend, and be comforted by the God who promises to never forsake the works of His own hands.

Abolition Of Man
$17.99In this graceful work, C. S. Lewis reflects on society and nature and the challenges of how best to educate our children. He eloquently argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. In the words of Walter Hooper, “If someone were to come to me and say that, with the exception of the Bible, everyone on earth was going to be required to read one and the same book, and then ask what it should be, I would with no hesitation say The Abolition of Man. It is the most perfectly reasoned defense of Natural Law (Morality) I have ever seen, or believe to exist. If any book is able to save us from future excesses of folly and evil, it is this book.” This beautiful paperback edition is sure to attract new readers to this classic book.
