While completing his preparation for the ministry, Jonathan Edwards wrote seventy resolutions that guided him throughout his life. About twenty years later he wrote a letter to young Deborah Hatheway, a new convert in a nearby town, advising her concerning the Christian life. These two writings, often reprinted during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, overflow with straightforward and biblically sound advice. This advice is as current today as it was in the 1700s, and it far surpasses the how to books now overrunning bookstores.

Timeless wisdom for a sincere, God-centered Christian life—written by one of the greatest theologians in American history.
In this powerful little volume, Jonathan Edwards brings together two of his most enduring works: his Resolutions, written as a young man preparing for ministry, and his Advice to Young Converts, penned two decades later to guide new believers in their first steps of faith. Together, they offer a rare and practical roadmap for anyone longing to grow spiritually, deepen their devotion, and pursue a life pleasing to God.
As a young believer, Edwards crafted seventy deliberate commitments to shape his character, sharpen his conscience, and anchor his daily walk with God. These resolutions—full of purpose, intensity, and spiritual earnestness—help readers:
-
Examine their hearts and habits
-
Cultivate godly discipline
-
Pursue holiness with joy
-
Live intentionally for the glory of God
Written with remarkable clarity, these resolutions remain a stirring call to wholehearted Christian living.
Advice for Young ConvertsIn this warm and pastoral letter to a new believer, Edwards offers practical, heartfelt counsel for navigating the early stages of Christian faith. His guidance covers:
-
How to discern God’s work in your soul
-
Developing a life of prayer and Scripture reading
-
Guarding against spiritual pride
-
Growing in love, humility, and obedience
-
Staying steadfast through trials and temptations
Filled with biblical insight and genuine compassion, this letter continues to encourage Christians of every age and background.
A Fresh Voice From the Past for Christians TodayWhile written in the eighteenth century, Edwards’s advice remains strikingly relevant—far more substantial and spiritually rich than the modern “self-help” approach to faith. His words cut through noise and confusion, pointing believers toward a Christ-centered, Scripture-anchored, eternally-minded life.
Whether you are a new Christian seeking orientation, a longtime believer longing for renewal, or a parent, pastor, or mentor guiding others in the faith, this book offers a clear, convicting, and uplifting vision of what it means to walk closely with God.
Simple. Practical. Spiritually transforming.
This classic guide will inspire you to examine your heart, deepen your devotion, and pursue a life shaped by eternal priorities.
