Synopsis

Jesus said we should focus our minds and hearts on God above all else. No small task! Is there someone we can turn to for help? “Wisdom tells us to sit at the feet of our elders rather than the latest ministry fad,” notes author Kyle Strobel. And is there a better elder to guide us than Jonathan Edwards? In Edwards, the eighteenth-century Puritan pastor and theologian, we find deep thought balanced with deep passion. Through his writings and practices, Edwards provides us with the tools―the “means of grace”―that make us receptive to God’s work in our lives as we learn to abide in Christ. Here we find a well-rounded account of being formed for the glory of God.

Goodreads review by Tony on January 12, 2016

Finished Book 14 of 2015! Rereading some of the quotes I marked has led to a refreshing view of who God is! In the first section, the author reminds us, through the great pastor-theologian Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758), about the beautiful realities of heaven, the affections for God, and the importan......more

Quotes

“This book did more than teach me; it awakened longing for God. It introduces Jonathan Edwards as the luminous, pastoral, passionate and deeply Christian man that he was. I heartily commend it to you.” Gerald L. Sittser, author of Water from a Deep Well
