In the 18th century, people opposed hell as well. Yet it was taught with more faithfulness andContinue reading “The Eternity of Hell Torments – Jonathan Edwards (1739)”
Deeper: Real Change for Real Sinners – Dane Ortlund
Dane Ortlund, Deeper (Wheaton: Crossway, 2021), 186 pp. Christians have long been on a quest for the “holy grail” of the Christian life.

A QUEST FOR GODLINESS: The Puritan Vision of the Christian Life – J.I. Packer (1990)

Owen Strachan, Always in God’s Hands: Day By Day in the Company of Jonathan Edwards (Carol Stream: Tyndale House Publishers, 2018), 415 pp. I don’t usually get too excited about devotional books.
