Torchbearers of the Truth - Christian Heritage Series, #1 - E-book - ePub

This book takes the reader back through time in British history to the Reformation which took place between the fourteenth and the eighteenth century and has been published in conjunction with the anniversary of the Reformation. The reader is reminded of the debt that we owe to some remarkable Christians from that era. They led the way out of the darkness of superstition principally by making available readable copies of the Bible to ordinary people and by preaching that salvation is by grace alone through faith in Christ alone.
Many suffered imprisonment and the pains of martyrdom for their faith. Some names such as John Wycliffe and John Bunyan will be well known. Others are not so well known, but they have been included to remind us that God has not forgotten His faithful servants down through the years and they will receive their reward. 30 Character studies including: John Wycliffe, William Tyndale, Martin Luther, John Calvin, Patrick Hamilton, George Wishart, John Knox, John Wesley, Charles Wesley, George Whitfield, Augustus Toplady, R Haldane, Countess of Huntingdon, John Owen, Samuel Rutherford.
