The Plain Mr. Knox
John Knox, more than any other man, laid the foundations of democracy, revitalized Church and Government, and brought the benefits of education to the ordinary people of Scotland. The Plain Mr. Knox tells this story.
One of the most celebrated people of his era, Thomas Carlyle, said that John Knox was “The one Scotchman to whom of all others his country and the world owe a debt.” If you understand Knox, then you understand Scotland.
Over 200 years after his death, when news reached Britain of the American Declaration of Independence, the Prime Minister of the day declared that “America has run off with a Scottish Parson”. Knox’s influence had spread far outside of Scotland during his life, but even more so after his death.
Read about this most famous of Scots in a lively, flowing biography that tells you what motivated a great man of history to transform a nation.

The Mighty Weakness of John Knox (Douglas Bond) Hardcover
$16.00John Knox, the great Reformer of Scotland, is often remembered as something akin to a biblical prophet born out of time—strong and brash, thundering in righteous might. In truth, he was “low in stature, and of a weakly constitution,” a small man who was often sickly and afflicted with doubts and fears.
In The Mighty Weakness of John Knox, author Douglas Bond shows that Knox did indeed accomplish herculean tasks, but not because he was strong and resolute in himself. Rather, he was greatly used because he was submissive to God; therefore, God strengthened him. That strength was displayed as Knox endured persecution and exile, faced down the wrath of mighty monarchs, and prayed, preached, and wrote with no fear of man, but only a desire to manifest the glory of God and to please Him.
For those who see themselves as too weak, too small, too timid, or simply too ordinary for service in God’s kingdom, Knox’s life offers a powerful message of hope—the biblical truth that God often delights to work most powerfully through people who are most weak in themselves but most strong in Him.
