'The glory of God seemed to be all, and in all, and to swallow up every wish and desire of my heart' - Sarah Edwards.
We have heard much this year about the great American preacher Jonathan Edwards, as 2003 is the 300th anniversary of his birth.
He wrote some of the greatest books and preached some of the most powerful sermons in all of church history. But he himself freely admitted that for a 'visual aid' to illustrate the reality of Christian love, he looked to his wife Sarah. And when he came to write a definitive treatise on how to discern between the true and the false in a religious revival, he used her spiritual experience as the example of the 'highest and purest' he had ever come across. Sarah lived out what he preached.
