Ann Bradstreet’s conception of a loving and giving God is not consistent with Jonathan Eduwards’‚ who views Him as evil and punishing. Even in the worst situation‚ such as the burning of her house and all of her possessions‚ she praises the Lord‚ and has enough faith to “bless His grace that gave and took” (Bradstreet 14).
