Jonathan Edwards: The Boy Who Sparked Revival
In Jonathan Edwards: The Boy Who Sparked Revival, David Mathis introduces young readers to one of the most influential pastors and theologians in American history.
The book traces Edwards’s love for God’s Word and his lifelong commitment to studying, writing, and preaching the Scriptures. It shows how God used an ordinary boy with a deep love for truth to play a significant role in the revival known as the Great Awakening.
Study and Teach Scripture
I was most interested to read Edwards’s disagreement with his grandfather’s view that people could participate in the Lord’s Supper without a genuine faith in Jesus Christ. Edwards believed the church should uphold the importance of a credible profession of faith.
This book encourages children to treasure God’s Word and demonstrates the impact that a life devoted to studying and teaching Scripture can have on the world.
