John Calvin: After Darkness Light (Trailblazer)

John Calvin: After Darkness Light (Trailblazer)

by Catherine Mackenzie (Author)

Synopsis

In this, the 500th anniversary year of the birth of John Calvin, it is right that we should think about the life of one of the people who has most impacted world history. Calvin had ideas on how we could live better lives - particularly how we could live in closer harmony with God and each other - but because his ideas were radical, his life was filled with dramatic events and dangers. He was run out of town - and then welcomed back. He was accused of being too harsh - and also too tender hearted. When he explained what the Bible meant he was considered too logical, and too spiritual.

You have hit the high spots of Calvin's story in a very telling way. The book will go into the junior section of our church library, and I hope it will make its impact there....Keep writing. Keep publishing. --J. I. Packer Well known author & Board of Governors' Professor of Theology, Regent College, Vancouver, Canada
The 500th anniversary of Calvin's birth has already produced some excellent material on Calvin However, perhaps one of the most useful has been published by Christian Focus in the Trailblazers series, in which Catherine Mackenzie has added to her repertoire of children's books by writing a young people's life of John Calvin. Ater Darkness Light is an extremely readable, short biography of Calvin, which I am sure many of our adults would also enjoy. --Reformation 21 blog
This chronicle on Calvin will delightfully enlighten you about this influential reformer.--Josh Van Eyk
