A Journey Toward Heaven: Daily Devotions from the Sermons of Jonathan Edwards
Publisher's Description
Among the vast body of Jonathan Edwards’s writings—characterized by rich doctrine, a clear and forceful style, a powerful depiction of God’s majesty, the sinfulness of sin, and Christ’s power to save—are his sermons, which contain tremendous wisdom for Christian living. A Journey Toward Heaven, a year’s worth of daily devotionals drawn from Edwards’s sermons, captures the true essence of this great preacher’s words and speaks personally to readers’ hearts. Unlike others in church history who have little to connect them to later generations, Edwards speaks across the centuries, as this book of daily readings well reveals, to challenge, edify, and touch your heart for the glory of God as you grow in holiness and conformity to Christ.

“Few Christian writers could be mentioned in the same breath with Jonathan Edwards when it comes to heart-stirring devotional writing that is theologically rock–solid. Dustin Benge has done the church a great service by compiling these God–glorifying, Christ–exalting, Gospel–centered, soul–enriching excerpts from some of Edwards’s magnificent, but lesser–known sermons. Read edifying passages from Edwards like this every day for awhile, and you’ll be the better for it.”
Don Whitney
Associate Professor of Biblical Spirituality at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky

Pray for the Spirit to apply these short, savory devotions to your head, heart, and hands for your daily and eternal gain.”
