The Scriptures tell us faith comes from hearing” (Rom. 10:17). No one has ever improved on that formula, and that is why the Puritans believed so strongly in preaching, and why they made no exceptions when addressing their children and youth. Years before the Great Awakening, Jonathan Edwards had been telling children and youth to seek salvation. This volume contains fourteen sermons by Edwards for children and youth, nine of which have never been published. Also included is a list of Bible questions Edwards expected his young people to know. Sermon titles include “Children Ought to Love the Lord Jesus Christ above All Things in This World,” “A Lovely and Pleasant Sight,” and “The Sins of Youth Go With Them to Eternity.”
