"A most delightful and experimental little volume. None of the Christian literature of the day is fresher, healthier, or more spiritual." "Words of sympathy, comfort and encouragement for the weary pilgrim " One truth which beams in through the vapors is this-God not only reigns, but He governs His world by a most beautiful law of compensations.

"God's people are never so exalted as when they are brought low, never so enriched as when they are emptied, never so advanced as when they are set back by adversity, never so near the crown as when under the cross."
Theodore Cuyler knew the sting of death.
Over a period of 20 years he and his wife watched as 3 of their children died from illness. During those days Cuyler went to the Bible for help and ended up penning these 20 short essays on suffering and the sovereignty of God.
