The Story of P&R

I enjoyed reading this brief history of P&R, a publisher that has been a blessing to the church since 1930.

This Day in 1741. 275 years ago today, Colonial Congregational minister Jonathan Edwards preached his classic sermon at Enfield, Connecticut: “You are thus in the hands of an angry God; ’tis nothing but his mere pleasure that keeps you from being this moment swallowed up in everlasting destruction” *
