    John Calvin - Christian Biographies for Young Readers (Carr)

    Description

    In this attractive volume, Simonetta Carr introduces young readers to the life, thought, and work of one of the most famous Reformers of the Christian church. She tells about the life of John Calvin from his birth to his death, placing him within the troubled context of the sixteenth century.

    Carr also introduces Calvin’s writings in a way that children will desire to know more about his ministry and influence. Readers will come to know Calvin’s personality, his devotion to God and the church, and the personal challenges he faced. They will understand the struggles the early Reformed church faced at that time, not only surviving attacks of the Roman Catholic Church, but also achieving a clear identity and a unified doctrine. They will also have a glimpse of life in sixteenth-century Europe, stricken by pestilence, poverty, and wars. Simply written, and full of interesting facts, this book makes a great gift for children of this rich Reformed heritage.

    John Calvin - Christian Biographies for Young Readers

    October 24, 2019
    It was a cold January day, in a January full of futility. The earth's vain attempts to bring forth snow burdened the year with disappointments, and our struggles to overcome illness were barely adequate. We were behind. Behind in life, behind in homeschool, and worn out from merely trying to get so far.

    And so it was that in our efforts to slowly get back to the elusive "normal" our homeschool endeavor for yesterday was to read this book and create a history card on John Calvin. As we read, we were caught up in the story of the life and challenges of another, freed from the solitary quarantine of illness to travel another time and place.

    Carr's simple language makes even the complex aspects of the story palatable; panacea for a somewhat muddled mind emerging from the fog of a five day fever. I did notice that this particular book seems to depend more on illustrations than other installments. I would have liked to see a few more location shots/ artifacts sprinkled in, but this is niggling.

    "A Steady Course in Adversaries" was where we heard it. The LORD speaking to us in our weariness, encouraging us in the burden of chronic illness that extends itself beyond the weekly upset of a horrid flu shared among
