4.0 out of 5 stars The result of four years of meticulous Baptist research., July 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: This Day in Baptist History: 366 Daily Devotions Drawn from the Baptist Heritage (Paperback)

This book provides a slice of Baptist history without regard to a chronological time table. The continuity promised by the Savior's statement "the gates of hell shall not prevail against it" (My church) are taken literally by the authors. The price paid by faithful Baptists through the years to secure and practice religious freedom is well documented in cases of those who suffered persecution and martyrdom for the preservation of truth. The Baptist's view of Scripture, the ordinances, polity and perpetuity are all clearly and concisely taught through illustrations that grip the heart. The document is completed foot-noted with a tremendously lenghy bibliography. This is "must reason" for those who are seriously interested in the subject of Baptist history.

This review is from: This Day in Baptist History: 366 Daily Devotions Drawn from the Baptist Heritage (Paperback)

Want a devotional that is not only mindful of Christian history, but hardcore BAPTIST history to boot? Personally, I never would have believed it until I saw it myself! The subject matter is fascinating and the writing and research really rise to the occasion.

Forget the daily pep-talks and 12-step mantras that line the bookstore shelves. Read aloud to YOUR family about Swiss Anabaptists, Judson, Carey, Spurgeon, Leland, John R. Rice, and even the first Baptists in Norway! Thrill to the stories of martyrs, missionaries, translators, and country preachers. Your family altar time will be richly enhanced!

Recommended to any Baptist parent.

5.0 out of 5 stars A book rich in history with valuable devotional content., June 29, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: This Day in Baptist History: 366 Daily Devotions Drawn from the Baptist Heritage (Paperback)

This Day in Baptist History is in a very easy to read format of daily devotions, rich in history of the many men and women who took a stand througout the years and made a difference. Though it serves as a devotional, it is much more than that. It is a valuable addition to anyones library to serve as a theological history text.

I was especially moved by the reports of those who gave their lives willingly to further the faith they held so dear.

We have used this book in our own home to teach our children to appreciate the faith we so often take for granted.

We are looking forward to the publication of VOLUME TWO!!
