John Calvin: After Darkness Light (Catherine Mackenzie)
$8.99
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.
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.

In the Power of the Spirit: Sermons on Matthew, Mark & Luke (John Calvin; Trans. Robert White)
$23.99Translated from the French of 1562 by Robert White
‘We cannot cleanse ourselves; God must work in us with power. That is why the Holy Spirit is fire. We must go back into the oven when God chooses to make us new.’
— John CalvinOf the many sermons which Calvin preached on the Synoptic Gospels, only the first sixty-five were recorded and published, under the title Sermons on the Harmony or Concordance of the Three Evangelists, Matthew, Mark and Luke (1562). Eighteen of these sermons appear here, for the first time in English translation. They focus on the events of Jesus’ ministry in Galilee: his baptism, his testing by Satan, the calling of his first disciples, his teaching and his works of healing.
