All Things for Good
Thomas Watsonâs book All Things For Good provides the biblical answer to the contemporary question; Why do bad things happen to good people?
Thomas Watson, the 17th century minister of St. Stephenâs Walbrook, believed he faced two great difficulties in his pastoral ministry. The first was making the unbeliever sad, in the recognition of his need of Godâs grace. The second was making the believer joyful in response to Godâs grace. He believed the answer to the second difficulty could be found in Paulâs teaching in Romans 8.28: God works all things together for good for his people.
First published in 1663 (under the title A Divine Cordial), the year after Watson and some two thousand other ministers were ejected from the Church of England and exposed to hardship and suffering, All Things For Good contains the rich exposition of a man who lived when only faith in Godâs Word could lead him to such confidence.
Thomas Watsonâs exposition is always simple, illuminating and rich in practical application. He explains that both the best and the worst experiences work for the good of Godâs people. He carefully analyses what it means to be someone who âloves Godâ and is âcalled according to his purposeâ.
