An Ark for All God's Noahs
Taking Lamentations 3:24 as his starting point, Thomas Brooks comforts suffering saints with the truth that God himself is their all-sufficient portion. Written in a stormy season, it presses the incomparable riches of having God as one's inheritance above every earthly loss.
Based on An Ark for All God's Noahs in a Gloomy and Stormy Day (1662), by Thomas Brooks
