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.
