John the Baptist (Classic Portraits)

Rating:
Summary: A burning and shining lamp
Review: John the Baptist. Although his career was short was far from a shooting star. His light was not repressed in the dusky dungeon of Herods courtyard, but on the contrary he shone with more brillance and excellency than than the morning sun. JESUS said " Among those born of women none is greater than John the Baptist, save he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he". As always F.B. Meyer and his goldtipped pen retell the story with the beauty and majesty that it deserves. Mr. Meyer sets the backdrop of his early life, the solitary years, the ministry of John, the friendship with CHRIST and finally the demise of this man. He unveils the dusty pathway traveled by John and clearly lightens the interstate for young pilgrims to travel. A delightful book and a must for all readers young and old.
