Bridges does an excellent job of expounding the relevant biblical texts in a clear and nontechnical fashion. His chapters are short, readable, very well illustrated, and extremely practical. In the opening chapter Bridges highlights why it is difficult to trust God in times of trial, and then describes in a cursory fashion those three essential truths. In the next six chapters he deals in depth with the topic of God’s sovereignty over every molecule of His creation, including man and his choices. (“The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord; He directs it like a watercourse wherever He pleases.” Pr 21.1) Throughout, Bridges avoids a fatalistic theology, and in his chapter on God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility, he demonstrates that both concepts are taught in Scripture with equal force and that there is no contradiction between them. Addressing the wisdom of God in chapter eight, Bridges makes the overall point that while life’s events are often shrouded in mystery and confusion, the believer can rejoice knowing that infinite wisdom guides the affairs of the world. The love of God for sinners and saints is the topic of chapters nine and ten, and the final four chapters form a fitting conclusion to Trusting God by applying the teachings of the previous chapters. These final chapters deal with some huge issues.
