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.
