Following Jesus in an Age of Quitters
The Resolutions of Jonathan Edwards for Today
John D. Gillespie
70 devotional readings
Applications for modern readers
Meditation points at end of each chapter
In 1722, an 18–year–old Jonathan Edwards began setting down seventy resolutions, personal statements of intent, to which, by the grace of God, he held himself accountable for the rest of his life. He read them prayerfully once a week until his death in 1758. John Gillespie here examines each resolution in the light of scripture and encourages modern readers to meditate on how they could apply Edwards’ resolutions to their own lives.
