Leaders of a prestigious colonial American church parish, the Edwards survived the death of children and grandchildren, international fame for spiritual leadership, and local humiliation and public ridicule from opponents. Edwards paved the way for deeper understanding of the ways and working of God in the world that has inspired every generation since, yet he was voted out of his own congregation by resentful agitators. Through it all was his faithful wife Sarah. Mother of 11 children, she supported him through the peaks and valleys, even though she was herself subject to bouts of depression. Edwards is often remembered for his famous sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God," delivered in Enfield, Connecticut on July 8, 1741. Here he's seen through the eyes of his beloved wife as a minister whose emphasis was far more on the grace and mercy of God. Through the intimacy of their gentle and faithful love for each other, we are provided a look into into a home and marriage, one that left a legacy in American history, as well as insight into an unusual man who stands among the most influential in all of church history.
