The Life of John Calvin

This is an excellent introduction to the life of Calvin, very worth while reading even if you have read other books. Originally articles that appeared in the Irish Evangelical magazine - and more recently in the Banner of Truth magazine - written by W.J. Grier. I first met Mr Grier in Belfast at a wedding in 1960. While over in Northern Ireland I preached in several of what were then called the Irish Evangelical churches. Mr Grier was a man of outstanding graciousness and fidelity to the Reformed faith. He preached one of the most outstanding sermons ever heard at the Leicester Ministers' Conference, the subject was Heaven. I went to one of the early conferences in the '60's, when we met in College Hall and most present were much older men, mostly from Scotland. As I went to the very first session I met Mr Grier, he greeted me warmly and then asked me if I would open in prayer when we began! I was terrified, but did not feel I could refuse, so I did so with some fear and trembling. This book is a fitting tribute and legacy to a very fine Christian.
