Summary: The result of four years of meticulous Baptist research.
Review: 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.

Summary: WOW,WOW,WOW! 'Engrossing' is an understatement!
Review: 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.

Summary: Excellent insight of those who sacrificed all.
Review: We take our religious liberties for granted and so few know or appreciate the hardship, trials, and suffering of our forefathers. This daily inspiration is concise and spirit-provoking. An excellent companion to any serious Bible student's daily devotions.
