Jonathan Edwards is well known as perhaps the greatest theologian the United States has ever produced. He is equally noted for his preaching and writing. But in this Long Line Profile, Dr. Steven J. Lawson considers the unique focus and commitment with which Edwards sought to live out the Christian faith. Lawson examines Edwards' life through the lens of the seventy resolutions he penned in his late teens, shortly after his conversion, which cover everything from glorifying God to repenting of sin to managing time. Drawing on Edwards' writings, as well as scholarly accounts of Edwards' life and thought, Lawson shows how Edwards sought to live out these lofty goals he set for the management of his walk with Christ. In Edwards' example, he finds helpful instruction for all believers.

Jonathan Edwards, a Puritan pastor in Colonial America, is remembered for his theological works, his role in the Great Awakening, and his fiery sermons. But Edwards' chief characteristic was his passion for God's glory. That pursuit was guided by seventy resolutions that Edwards set to paper as a young man. In those resolutions, Edwards expressed steely determination combined with heartfelt reliance on divine grace to order his life in ways that were pleasing to God and fruitful for His kingdom on earth. In The Unwavering Resolve of Jonathan Edwards, Dr. Steven Lawson delves into Edwards' writings to uncover the practical ways that Edwards sought to fulfill his resolutions. He then exhorts Christians of today to do likewise, living for God's glory with resolute passion. This book is part of the Long Line of Godly Men Profile series, edited by Dr. Steven Lawson.

Iain Murray believes that Edwards cannot be understood apart from his faith. Only when seen first and foremost as a Christian do his life and writings make sense. The integrity of this interpretation is confirmed in this study as Edwards is allowed on point after point to speak for himself.

Charles Spurgeon, the great Baptist preacher of nineteenth-century London, is remembered today as "the prince of preachers." However, the strength of Spurgeon's ministry went far beyond simple rhetorical skill. In The Gospel Focus of Charles Spurgeon, new from Reformation Trust Publishing, author Steven J. Lawson shows that Spurgeon fearlessly taught the doctrines of grace and tirelessly held forth the free offer of salvation in Jesus Christ. In thirty-eight years as pastor of the congregation meeting at the New Park Street Chapel and later the Metropolitan Tabernacle, Spurgeon propounded Calvinistic theology with precision and clarity. Yet he always accompanied it with a passionate plea for sinners to come to Christ and be saved. Lawson traces these twin points of emphasis throughout Spurgeon's long, fruitful ministry, showing also that he preached Christ crucified without apology and looked to the Holy Spirit for success in all his endeavors.
