John Owen's Family Life?

Status
Not open for further replies.
Owen was married twice, and had 11 children, but only one or two survived.
 
John Piper's bio is really good: The Chief Design of My Life: Mortification and Universal Holiness. Unfortunately all of Owen's personal journals were burned in a house fire a few years after his death, so we only know by small notes from him here or there. We know a decent amount, but not a lot. However, for a man to have had 11 children with only one surviving until adulthood and to still persist in faith in Christ amid all the outward pressures he was under - we know he was a great man of God.
