This book, “The Trial of Comparison,” explores the challenges and consequences of comparing oneself to others through various biblical narratives and practical examples. It begins with the story of Cain and Abel, illustrating how comparison can lead to destructive envy and actions. The text then contrasts the experiences of prophets Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel, who, despite being contemporary and faithful to God, endured vastly different circumstances—from imprisonment and hardship to exaltation.

The discourse extends this theme to comparisons within families, among brethren with differing privileges of service, and concerning material wealth and health. It emphasizes that each individual is uniquely shaped by God for a specific purpose within the Body of Christ, and that focusing on following Jesus is paramount, rather than being swayed by others’ experiences or circumstances. The book encourages readers to cultivate faith, submission, and trust in God’s wisdom, recognizing that His grace is sufficient in all trials.
