Book Description
We live in difficult days and in trying times. This book, with its quaint yet vivid title, points us to the One in whom Christian men and women have always found the strength to persevere come what may. Taking Lamentations 3:24 as his starting-point – ‘The Lord is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him,’ – Thomas Brooks expounds the attributes of God with the aim of comforting those who have felt not only the stresses and strains of daily life but also the searing pain of loss in its various forms. God, he says, ‘is a portion that is exactly suited to the condition of the soul in its desires, needs, wants, longings and prayers. All the soul needs is found in God. There is light to enlighten the soul, wisdom to counsel the soul, power to support the soul, goodness to supply the soul, mercy to pardon the soul, beauty to delight the soul, glory to ravish the soul, and fullness to fill the soul.’
‘All true comfort and happiness is only to be found in having an all-sufficient God for your portion.’

Great book, very encouraging.
Helkias Mapimhidze –
Thomas Brooks is entranced by the wonder and unsurpassed value of God in Christ. This is such a wonderful, pastoral book. I enjoyed it because it made me look upward to my portion- God himself. Highly recommended.
