Just finished the Piper/Taylor book, A God Entranced Vision of All Things. This book is a discussion of the legacy of Jonathan Edwards.
One of the best parts of the book was the chapter, written by John Piper’s wife on Sarah Piper. It is an excellent profile of Edwards wife - her bio, her influence and her
legacy. Edwards described his relationship with his wife as an “uncommon union” and much of Jonathan’s productivity and service to us now was a result of Sarah’s sacrifice then.
The purpose if the book was no only to challenge the reader but also to entice us all to read Edwards, not just read about Edwards. And today, this sermons are posted all over the web. Here are the immediate recommendations:
- Growing in God’s Spirit
- Praying Together for True Revival
Reading Jonathan Edwards in by no means Edwards. But I was hooked by the book and have already consumed a couple of works by Edwards. Of particular help to me were
- The Necessity of Self Examination
- God Glorified in Man's Dependence
Have you read anything by Edwards? What was it and how was it helpful?
