John Calvin: Man of the Millennium
July 10, 2009, marks the 500th anniversary of the birth of John Calvin. During his own time and in the centuries that followed, this Genevan's life and labors shook the West and blazed a trail for liberty around the globe, making him arguably the most important man of the last millennium. Calvin's worldview spurred Huguenot freedom-fighters to resist tyranny in France, fueled evangelistic efforts to pagan tribes, and, with John Knox's aid, rekindled freedom's fire among the sturdy Scots. Moreover, Calvin's influence compelled a hardy group of Pilgrims to settle at Plymouth Rock, and later drove a rag-tag band of patriots to fight for American independence.
Perfect for a family read-aloud, John Calvin: Man of the Millennium reveals this great man of God to a new generation of Christians in need of its own reformation.
