Jonathan Edwards still has books in print almost 300 years after his death. He is remembered as one of America's greatest pastors and theologians.... and here in his diary I find comfort:
( after his move to Yale)
" This week has been a remarkable week with me with respect to despair, fears, perplexities, multitudes of cares, and distractions of mind... I have now abundant reason to be convinced of the troublesomeness and vexation of the world, and that it will never be another kind of world."
( Jonathan Edwards: A New Biography by Iain Murray page 59-60)
I think its interesting that he had these thoughts and I find comfort in knowing that other people have these same difficulties.
