Providence - All things ordained by God?

[SoldierOfTheRock]

The Puritans and others often talk about thinks happening by Providence. I understand that thinking that all things that happen ie. Good & Bad, Following God's commands & Sin, are all ordained by God before hand.

I often find myself trying to explain this but come to a point where I can not say what I want to say, for it is not an easy thing to explain. Does anyone know of some good books or older works that I may be able to find on the internet that relate to this topic?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Guys

Hey thanks for all the recommendations and links.

I have never heard of Thomas Watson, he seems alright though. - The book was called A Divine Cordial.

Thanks Paul, I own a copy of Pink's Sov. of God and everything. I reckon I should finish reading it.
