Trail Blazers - John Calvin: After Darkness Light
Book Description
Calvin had ideas on how we could live better lives - particularly how we could live in close 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! He must have been an amazing man to have caused such a stir!
