One of the devotional books I used for the past year was Day by Day with Jonathan Edwards, compiled and edited by Randall J. Peterson.
Each day has a text from the Bible (King James Version) and then a half to a full-page text from one of Edwards’ writings.
If you’ve never read Edwards, this would be an excellent introduction to disabuse you of the stereotype of Edwards as being pure hellfire and brimstone. Rather, he is a biblical scholar who believes both in the justice of God against those who never believe in His Son, Jesus, the Only Savior, and the grace of God that lovingly gifts salvation to all who believe through His Son, Jesus.
I was encouraged and challenged by Edwards’ reflections through the year, and I would recommend this as a yearly devotional to anyone looking for sound biblical reflection for each day.
At the end of the book, there is a listing of what text each quote comes from. While I am glad for that, it would be even more useful to have the title, edition, and page number listed for those of us who might want to read more around the text one the page. I would encourage that to be added in an update of the book.
You will grow in the knowledge and love of our Triune God using a devotional like this.

This was quite the read. I can't believe it's been a year already.
I absolutely love 18th-century prose and verse, and these selected sermon excerpts from prominent theologian Jonathan Edwards were thought-provoking and, on occasion, very impactful.
A must read for those who enjoy 18th century literature and desire insight into the selected sermons by the author of the infamous work "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God".
