I, too am a direct descendant of the Edwards’ and really enjoy this testimony to their humility and faith. I can see the thread that continues to run through our family and am grateful for it.

Hello,
This is great!
I was wondering if you remember where you found the information about the traced descendants’ professions.
I’m writing my senior thesis about the modern shift away from large families and would love to include a section talking about the statistical significance associated with many children. I think Jonathan Edwards Legacy would be a great example, but I need a citation of some kind.
I’m writing my paper right now, so if you know and could help me as soon as possible, that would be wonderful.
Thanks!

There is a lady in our church in PA. that also is a direct descendent of
Jonathan Edwards. When I found that out years ago it didn’t surprise me when I started thinking about how Jonathan’s personality is described in the book Marriage to a difficult man.. This lady is a Godly women.. Love to hear your response..

I just read Marriage to a Difficult Man. An amazing book, and amazing people. Really challanged me with the raising of our children.

A great book that includes a short Sarah Edwards biography and directly parallels her life in relationship to God and the Edward’s family ministry is: “Faithful Women and Their Extraordinary God” by: Noel Piper

Enjoy!

A great book about Sarah Edwards’ life is a book entitled Marriage to A Difficult Man by Elisabeh D. Dodds. I have greatly enjoyed the read.

Hi and thanks for the comment! I am not aware of a separate publication of Sarah’s journals. However, Jonathan’s Memoirs (found in most any edition of his collected works) have much information about Sarah. Fascinating reading. And I know of at least one decent biography of Sarah. You can check amazon for it. Blessings!

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Do you know if Sarah Edwards has a journal or if there are any works written that are available.

Thanks!
