Description : Ranked among the greatest thinkers in American history, Jonathan Edwards was first and foremost a compelling preacher and a concerned pastor. Featuring 365 thought-provoking reflections accompanied by Scripture, this collection offers readers a daily measure of penetrating insight and thoughtful encouragement from one of the central figures of the “Great Awakening.”
More than a great introduction to the thought of the renowned Puritan theologian and evangelist, it’s a rare glimpse into a heart consumed by passion for God’s glory.
“Jonathan Edwards . . . was among the noblest and ablest Christians of his age, and can now be seen, two centuries after, as one of the greatest theologians ever given by God to his church. As a saint and scholar, evangelist and educationalist, pastor and teacher, missionary and metaphysician, he showed a grasp of the grandeur of God’s sovereignty and the glory of divine grace equaled only by men of the caliber of John Owen and John Calvin.”
—J. I. Packer
