Information on The True Believer from the publisher:

In Puritan preaching, distinguishing between true and counterfeit faith was a common practice. Oh, that it were so in our day when anyone who uses the name of God in anything other than a blasphemous way is accepted as a brother! But "not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven." What are the marks of a true believer? This is an eternally significant question. And what are the blessings that come to those with true faith? These questions are addressed by the great New England preacher, Jonathan Edwards, in this compilation of 8 of his sermons.
