Jonathan Edwards held an unshakable faith in the sovereignty and active providence of God. The center of this faith was absolute confidence in the goodness of God and His loving relationships with His creation―especially His human creatures. Edwards was a man of unparalleled devotion and an unrivaled mind. The passage of three centuries has not dimmed his words or diminished his monumental contribution to Christian thought. This new devotional by Owen Strachan is a welcome introduction to Edwards’s piety and theological insights. Strachan gives us the best of Edwards’s theologically rich, warmhearted worship of the Savior he loved.' R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
