Description: Here, for the first time, is pastor Jonathan Edwards addressing the children and youth of his congregation.  This aspect of Edwards' ministry has never been explored until now in print form.  There are 16 chapters for young people of all ages. 

"if they put off seeking salvation, these evil days will come upon them before they are aware."

The Scriptures tell us that "faith cometh by hearing." No one has ever improved on that formula, and that is why the Puritans believed so strongly in preaching, and why they make no exceptions when addressing their children and youth.

The compilation of sermons by the great Jonathan Edwards contains fourteen sermons, nine of which have never been published. Years before the Great Awakening, Edwards had been telling children and youth to seek salvation. By the end of his tenure at his church in Northhampton, he had delivered thirty sermons addressing children and young adults. Also included is a list of Bible Questions for the Children of Northhampton that Edwards expected his young people to know -- some of which would prove difficult for today's seminarians. Among the titles included in this work are:

The Time Of Youth The Best TIme to BE Improved for Religious Purposes

Children Ought to Love the Lord Jesus Christ Above All Things in This WOrld

A Letter to a Young Convert

A Lovely And Pleasant Sight

Don't Lead Others Into Sin

The Sins of Youth God WIth Them to Eternity
