Reform: The Church at the Birth of Protestantism (Luke H. Davis)
$10.751485–1600
Throughout the Christian lands of Europe, there was darkness. Not a physical darkness, but a spiritual one. For many years, the clarity of God’s grace given through Jesus Christ had dimmed. A system of human effort designed to achieve God’s favor meant people were confused about Scripture, about salvation, and about the purpose of life.
But in those dark times, light dawned. Brave individuals challenged long–held teachings that had drifted from Scripture. Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Thomas Cranmer led movements of reformation in their nations, calling their followers to the clear teaching of the Bible, to Christ, to faith, to grace, to live to the glory of God. Others, such as Patrick Hamilton, William Tyndale, and Lady Jane Grey, sought to continue this enterprise, sometimes at the cost of their lives.
These bold Christians—called Protestants for their protest against the established and wayward Church practices of the day—sought to be faithful to Christ in their world, and in the process they offered in a new world that endures today.

John Calvin: After Darkness Light (Catherine Mackenzie)
$8.99Calvin 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.
John was accused by many of being too harsh, and by others of being too tenderhearted. 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!
This new biography in the Trailblazers series will help children 8-12 understand more about the life of this great French Reformer.

Institutes of the Christian Religion (John Calvin)
$36.00Institutes of the Christian Religion is Calvin’s single most important work and one of the key texts to emerge from the Reformation of the sixteenth century. The book accompanied the Reformer throughout his life, growing in size from what was essentially an expanded catechism in 1536 to a full-scale work of biblical theology in 1559-60.
Among the intermediate editions of the Institutes, none deserves to be better known than the first French edition of 1541.
Avoiding the technical details and much of the polemics of the final work, the Institutes of 1541 offers a clear and comprehensive account of the work of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in creation, revelation, and redemption in the life of the individual Christian and in the worship and witness of the church.
Not doctrine only but its practical use is Calvin’s abiding concern. The author of the Institutes invites us both to know and to live the truth, and thus allow God’s Spirit to transform us.
The present translation is newly made from the French of 1541. It has been designed and annotated with the needs of a wide readership in mind.

A Guide to Christian Living (John Calvin)
$12.50Originally entitled by Calvin, On The Christian Life.Â
When John Calvin first began writing his Institutes of the Christian Religion, he had in mind a short handbook or manual which would set out the essentials of the Christian faith. Although the persecution of Protestants in France led him in time to accentuate the apologetic nature of the book, the Institutes, as first published in 1536, remained a work of Christian instruction, intended, as Calvin says, for those who were ‘touched with some zeal for religion’, and principally for those among his French compatriots who ‘were hungering and thirsting for Christ’, and who ‘might be shaped to true godliness’.

John Calvin: His Life and Influence (Robert Reymond)
$11.00So, you don’t consider yourself a Calvinist? Well, John Calvin would probably have been the last man to ask you to. This is the freshest new biography of the man who God used to reform the church and change the lives of many generations, by his insistence that the Scriptures alone be our authority.
Even most students of church history today have little idea who the man John Calvin was, having read more from uninformed contemporary critics than original sources. Robert Reymond has studied Calvin himself and in the light of those who knew him. The reality is quite different from the caricatures often painted today.
