Most noticeably missing from theology in our day is a proper doctrine and understanding of God. Teaching on peripheral matters abounds, but professing Christians are woefully deficient in their understanding of the nature and character of God.
This book is a compilation of material from Edwards' sermons and "Miscellanies" on the existence and character of God, particularly God's attributes of grace, sovereignty, wisdom, and justice. There are also chapters on God's decrees and God's glory. In this book, Edwards movingly raises our conceptions of God to a level we may never have known existed.
Here is Edwards on:
1--The Existence of God
2--The Nature of God
3--The Grace of God
4--The Sovereignty of God
5--The Decrees of God
6--The Glory of God
7--The Wisdom of God
8--The Justice of God
9--The Abode of God
Edwards shows us that God is indeed great and glorious. Come, let us adore him.
Out of His fullness we have received grace upon grace. Thanks for showing the connection between grace and building.

Praise our God for such grace to such lowly rebels.
"And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation." (Rev 5:9)
Thank you, RM.
