Jonathan Edwards is widely hailed as the greatest theologian in American history. In Edwards on the Christian Life, Dane Ortlund invites us to explore the great eighteenth-century pastor’s central passion: God’s resplendent beauty. Whether the topic was the nature of love, the preeminence of Scripture, or the glory of the natural world, the concept of beauty stood at the heart of Edwards’s theology and permeated his portrait of the Christian life.

Careful by the Railing is set in Northern California, and is in the tradition of American fiction. Lou, the main character, wanders from town to town. He realizes that he is in the middle of his life, and that he is still searching for love, and a place to call home. His life is pretty much under control except for his alcoholic boss, his 14-year-old daughter who has mysteriously arrived back in his life, and his new maybe girl friend April. Plagued by dreams in which he is terrified of his father's rage, Lou never gets a full night's sleep.
