I don’t think it is much of an overstatement to say that nearly everyone has at least heard of Jonathan Edwards. Not only did he preach what is probably the most famous sermon of all time (“Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”) he is also widely thought to be possibly the greatest theologian and intellectual that the United States of America has ever produced. Though he lived a relatively short life (he died from a smallpox inoculation at 54) he wrote many books (most still in print today), hundreds of sermons, was a key player in the First Great Awakening, and was a pastor and missionary. He truly was an amazing man.What becomes immediately clear when you begin to study Jonathan Edwards’ life, however, is what his real focus was. His desire was not necessarily to be or do any of the things that we know him for today, but the entire solar system of his life was centered around the sun of bringing glory to God which is what held everything else in his life in orbit. This was not something that he just stumbled into. Edwards lived a life of purposeful, intentional resolve in every sense of those words. That is what this book is about.
