Wherever, you are in your journey with Christ (or even if you are not in one at all), the writings of Jonathan Edwards will help you. He was a man of tremendous and contagious passion for the gospel of Jesus Christ.
If you, are a Christian, it will be difficult for you to read the three sermons contained in this volume without being deeply affected by Edwards’ heart. Over two and a half centuries after his death, he continues to hold audiences captive with his intense focus on the glory and grace of God.
This is one of the reasons I was mootivated to update his original writings into a form of English that is more readable for people living today.

As in my previous updates, let me offer this important disclaimer. I am not an Edward’s scholar. In fact, I am not a professional scholar at all. I am a pastor, and these updates are presented from a pastor’s heart.
