About this listen
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 18th-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.

He was an important figure in Reformed theology, and his teachings and writings emphasized the sovereignty of God, the depravity of humanity, and the necessity of personal conversion. Edwards also believed in the role of God's grace in salvation and upheld the doctrines of justification by faith and the necessity of a personal relationship with God through Christ.
Edwards' intellectual legacy extends beyond his role as a preacher. He was a theologian who engaged deeply with issues like the nature of God, the human will, and the relationship between faith and reason. His theological work has had a lasting influence on both American evangelicalism and Reformed theology. This book was highly edifying. At this point I may have listened to it 4 times over a few years. As with all spiritual books for Christians your walk with Christ will affect what you derive from it.
The narration is excellent as well!
Deeply affecting.

I have endeavoured to find out how to develop such a relationship. Many Christians that I asked, over the years, would tell me to read my Bible more. So I set out to do that. Having read my Bible from Genesis to Revelation a few times (4 I think), I was no closer to the desired relationship. Then I was told to STUDY the Bible. This is, of course, a wholly different aspect and very enlightening - if done properly - which I’m not confident that I always did. I needed more.
I ‘stumbled’ across two books, which came free in Audible’s new audibleplus library. This was one of them. It is life changing! Not a ‘Christianity By Numbers’ but a genuinely helpful introduction to meeting and knowing The Lord Jesus. How to fathom the love that He has for us and what that translates to in our reciprocal love for Him. How to develop a lifestyle of wisdom and love that, in the fullness of time, will gain you the spirituality, the proper manifestation of The Holy Spirit in your life.
I’m not there yet (of course), but I have a clearer idea of how to get there. As with weight management, or playing a musical instrument, or any other feat/activity that we strive for, this isn’t the work of a moment. But it requires the same disciplines and dedication. The other audiobook I got under this bonus catalogue, was how to effectively study the Bible. Both of them are worth their weight in Audible Credits!
If you’re sincerely seeking God, this book will show you one of the best ways to go about it. I’m not an Evangelical Christian, but you don’t need to be to benefit from this book. All you need is the Triune Godhead and a sincere desire. The section on Prayer, will change your life.
This is an utterly engaging book, very well narrated. I will be listening and re-listening to this for many months to come.
