Summary
Jesus said we should focus our minds and hearts on God above all else. No small task! Is there someone we can turn to for help?
"Wisdom tells us to sit at the feet of our elders rather than the latest ministry fad," notes author Kyle Strobel. And is there a better elder to guide us than Jonathan Edwards?
In Edwards, the 18th-century Puritan pastor and theologian, we find deep thought balanced with deep passion. Through his writings and practices, Edwards provides us with the tools - the "means of grace" - that make us receptive to God's work in our lives as we learn to abide in Christ. Here, we find a well-rounded account of being formed for the glory of God.

Thankyou Kyle for this devotional aid
We tend to think of the Puritans as kill-joys. This book, drawing us into the true heart of Christian devotion reveals that we have lost a lot of true passion about discipleship since those days. The Puritans have much to teach us, if we will listen.

Spiritual God-Help Guide
The first thing that the author says is that this isn’t a self-help guide. It isn’t a ‘1.2.3- you’re fixed!’ Guide, but it is perfect for those of us Christians who feel like automatons who, blithely trot out the correct biblical sayings in rote form about developing a relationship with Jesus Christ, yet who obviously (in my opinion), don’t actually have that relationship. I raise my hand…😏
I have endeavoured to find out how to develop such a relationship. Many Christians that I asked, over the years, would tell me to read my Bible more. So I set out to do that. Having read my Bible from Genesis to Revelation a few times (4 I think), I was no closer to the desired relationship. Then I was told to STUDY the Bible. This is, of course, a wholly different aspect and very enlightening - if done properly - which I’m not confident that I always did. I needed more.
I ‘stumbled’ across two books, which came free in Audible’s new audibleplus library. This was one of them. It is life changing! Not a ‘Christianity By Numbers’ but a genuinely helpful introduction to meeting and knowing The Lord Jesus. How to fathom the love that He has for us and what that translates to in our reciprocal love for Him. How to develop a lifestyle of wisdom and love that, in the fullness of time, will gain you the spirituality, the proper manifestation of The Holy Spirit in your life.
I’m not there yet (of course), but I have a clearer idea of how to get there. As with weight management, or playing a musical instrument, or any other feat/activity that we strive for, this isn’t the work of a moment. But it requires the same disciplines and dedication. The other audiobook I got under this bonus catalogue, was how to effectively study the Bible. Both of them are worth their weight in Audible Credits!
If you’re sincerely seeking God, this book will show you one of the best ways to go about it. I’m not an Evangelical Christian, but you don’t need to be to benefit from this book. All you need is the Triune Godhead and a sincere desire. The section on Prayer, will change your life.
This is an utterly engaging book, very well narrated. I will be listening and re-listening to this for many months to come.
