Jonathan Edwards: His Doctrine of & Devotion to Prayer

by Brian G. Najapfour, Joel R. Beeke (Foreword)

“Thomas Shepard, the Harvard man, once quipped that there are times in his life when he’d rather die than pray. No doubt we sometimes feel this way. This book on the man from Yale by Brian Najapfour will help remedy the problem of prayerlessness. For that reason alone I am grateful for this enjoyable read on the prayer life of Jonathan Edwards.” —Dr. Mark Jones, Minister of Faith Presbyterian Church (PCA), Vancouver, British Columbia and Research Associate, University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa ______________________________“Brian Najapfour weaves together a beautiful tapestry of theology and piety, of doctrine and devotion, from the life, sermons and writings of Jonathan Edwards. You’ll end up knowing much more about this godly man; but, if you follow his example, you’ll end up knowing even more about God.” —Dr. David P. Murray, Professor of Old Testament and Practical Theology, Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary _________________________“Historically informed and contemporarily relevant, Jonathan His Doctrine of & Devotion to Prayer equips one in the life of prayer.” —Dr. Adriaan C. Neele, Associate Editor and Director of the Jonathan Edwards Center, Yale University Divinity School

A Short But Powerful Book

Although this is a short book, it is powerful. The reader catches a glimpse of Edwards prayer life and the effect prayer had on him. Through various quotes we see the importance of prayer in Edwards life.
