Jonathan and Sarah--an Uncommon Union
Author: Edna GerstnerPublisher: Soli Deo Gloria Ministries
ISBN: 9781573580113
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
Mrs. Gerstner wrote this book in the mid-1960's, but it was not published until 1995. Using the actual diaries of the Edwards family members, she tells the story of their life together from the time of Edwards' dismissal from the Northampton church to his death shortly after accepting the presidency of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton). This is charming, delightful reading in which we are given a rare glimpse into the private life of one of history's great figures.

In Love with Christ

Pages : 112
Book Description
Sarah Edwards was the wife of America's greatest theologian, Jonathan Edwards. Her narrative took place in the year 1742. In it, she chronicled the grace of God in opening the eyes of her heart to receive an uncommonly clear sight of His love made manifest in Christ crucified. As she beheld Him in His beauty, she was melted into His image and transformed into His likeness. To use the words of Solomon, she was "lovesick." Her heart was lifted up to heaven to partake of the sweetest, most holy communion with God. She experienced a holy intercourse with God which she described as a constant flowing back and forth of love. Everything on earth seemed inconsequential, so long as she had Christ. The more she saw Him by faith, the more she saw her own sinfulness. She was grieved, humbled, and broken. Yet, at the same time, she abounded in joy, for the more she saw her own unworthiness, in contrast to His great worth, the more she could comprehend the breadth, length, height, and depth of His love in giving up of Himself for her. O the praise that involuntarily springs up at such sights! These sights were what God used to free her from sin, wean her from the world, and grace her to surrender to His providence, as well as to enable her to overflow with love for the brethren, to be full of concern for the lost, to be committed to His glory above all things.
