Jonathan Edwards is known for his love for God and His Word. He was a great theologian and intellect. Elisabeth Dodds’ portrayal of Jonathan Edwards reveals him in a more personal, domestic light by delving into his married life to Sarah Pierrepoint. This book contains many rare insights into their marriage and gives us an up close glimpse into the life, ministry, and marriage of Jonathan Edwards.

From the book

“There are two main things I hope to experience when I read [a] biography. One is that I learn more about God by seeing him work in someone else’s life. The other is that, through either positive or negative example, I find encouragement, wisdom and strength for my own life. Marriage to a Difficult Man richly satisfies both those desires.” — Noël Piper

“I already stood in awe of [Jonathan] Edwards as a thinker and a faithful narrator of God’s perfections, but here I saw more of the man and his domestic side. Seeing him close up did not diminish my admiration, but intensified my affection. One of the effects of this was to rouse in me a stronger desire to be a good husband.” — John Piper
